Default A silvery day
Went out after church for several hours to dig some schools. Finally cooling down so I dont have to go at break of day. Dug these 62 coins, 4 silver jewelry pieces, a Mexican half dollar and misc stuff.

The ring on the left is stamped 925, the right hand one is not stamped but tests out at silver on my acid kit. The stone looks like malachite. The longer chain is stamped 925 Mexican Silver, didn't get the knot out yet, and the broken necklace is missing the stamped piece but also tested out as silver .
Wind is blowing hard all day - love it, keeps people out of the parks & such Steve in so az

Awesome Steve! I'm sure the huntin' is sooooo much more enjoyable without the heat.

Sweet digs Steve. I've dug about a billion rings that look like the one one the left but NEVER one like that stamped silver. Nice work!
