Thursday is grocery day so I didn't have a chance to do a long hunt but did manage a three hour one in a small park. The park is typical of small parks in a city where there's no money: waste cans overflowing, trash all over the grass and dog poop. My initial hopes were not high and I started off by finding nothing but pennies which dissappointed me because I'm pretty good at finding dimes. In any case, one of the pennies was a wheat which in itself was good for me as I don't find very many.

After about an hour and a quarter I got a really good signal which turn out to be a ring. I'm not normally into jewelry but I must admit that finding this produced a pretty nice feeling.

After that I finally found my dimes.

There wasn't much in that park but it was a decent hunt for me.

thanks

Sweet digs! That ring looks hefty and would make my day... is it stamped?

Yes, it is 925. What does that mean?

Thanks. It's funny how you can find something decent in the worst possible place. Just amazes me.

.925 means sterling silver. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure. It's the most common mark for silver. Some items will be stamped sterling instead. Some will not be stamped at all.



That's a nice chunk of silver though. Congrats!

A silver ring like that is a great find for anyone. Makes my ticker go a little faster. Remember - Wheaties are the breakfast of champions. Great recoveries.
Happy dance - On to the next
