Today was hunt #5 for 2015 . Last year I couldn't get out until April but Feb. was very warm ( VERY unusual ! ) ... until last week . Some new snow & COLD ! 
Impossible to hunt where I live but town is 20 mi. away & a different world . So ... thought I'd give it a shot today . First park was mostly snow covered & very likely froze . Drove to another out in the valley & success ... mostly clear . 
But ... the ground still pretty darn hard . But I'm going stir crazy not hunting so what the heck ! Managed to dig 29 coins ( $1.11 ) , oldest a '58 wheat ... 2nd '58 this year . Dug a trashed cheapo ring then slowly heading back to the truck & dug this SILVER ( .925 ) ring ! 
Looks like some kind of Catholic thing but I am stoked ! I am so envious of all the jewelry you guys post up as I rarely find any but Today was the Day ! Also 2nd ring from this park . Last summer my wife eye-ball found a 14k wedding band walking in front of me !
