OK, I had to get the oil changed in my car today. There was NO way I was going to sit in the waiting room for two hours! lol So, I grabbed my F2 and headed to some woods nearby.

My very first find was a gold 1971 Yale class ring <:! I couldn't believe it. What a way to start my hunt and the year!

Then I trekked into the woods and the signals dropped off. I found a few shotgun shell heads. Then I decided to see what I might get if I stuck my coil in the water of a little stream. Sure enough, I got a good signal a few inches deep. Man the water was :frozen:. Out pops what I think is a 3 ring bullet. Very heavy. Please give me more info if anyone knows about it. Bullets are not my area of expertise.

Finally on the way out I tried searching the edge of a small eroded section of ground with a drop off of about 20 feet. Right at the edge about an inch deep was this silver war nickel, my very first one! happydance02

Thanks for looking. Happy Hunting everyone!

Those spur of the moments hunts are the best and usually the most rewarding. Love the war nickel and ring. Cool :beerbuddy:

:omg: What a find! :wow: I have only found one gold ring and it was a rescue! Found it for a friend. If I found a gold class ring I would probably have a heart attack! WTG :perfect10: Congrats! I think your bullet is going to be a modern one. But, don't take my word for it. HH

:perfect10:, Nice going on the finds!! Great start for the year. 18 degrees here in Mich. But the near future is bright for a warm up. I think I might have to change the oil in the van. lol Hope the rest of the year goes as good for ya. :peace:
