i've finally scored my first silver of the year!
i was on vacation last week and did a fair amount of beach clean-up, managed about $30 worth of clad, several pounds of trash but the jewelry had been eluding me.
the very first signal i got today sure sounded and read like silver (88-90 on the At Pro) and out pops this tarnished ring. took a quick look-see inside at the time and i couldn't see any kind of markings on it.
after i got home, i got curious and rubbed it inside with a scouring pad and sure enough, i "think" i see some sort of writing in there! a bit more scrubbing, a closer look with the 10x loup and sure enough.... STERLING! yahoo!
that was refreshing to see considering i haven't been out 'tecting any where near as often i would have liked this summer, had some health issues for almost all of July and half way into August and i suppose if a person just doesn't have the energy to get out, then they don't go.
at least that's pretty much in the past and i'm running at very close to 100% again, just in time for some good fall hunting!
thanks for looking,
Pete
