This week?s finds are from both land and water hunts. The best is an 1867 shield nickel, and a large and heavy 14kt wedding band, both yielded while shallow water detecting. From land hunts I picked up 18 wheats, all in poor shape though, 2 IH?s and 2 silver dimes.
This will be my last post of finds for a while, at least until I get my camera fixed. It just takes too much time to scan the items, and then fix them with a photo-editing program. The scanner is only good for scanning flat items, like coins. The rings don?t scan well at all, especially when they have stones, as is the case of the 10kt ring included below. A scanner simply can?t show the nice details of the rings.
Anyway, I still look forward to seeing and reading about everyone else?s finds! I may not be able to comment on all posts, but I do enjoy viewing the goods, so keep ?em coming!

The goods ?
The shield nickel is dated 1867. I found it when about knee deep in the water at the pond I?ve been hitting lately. The buff is dated 1925, and was found at the same pond.
Other nickels found at the pond. They are dated 1940, 1940 and 1946.
I found these bullets at the same pond.
The pond also yielded two silver toe rings and a junk one.
This 10kt ring was found in the beach area of another pond. It has a green stone.
The next few finds came from a Connecticut beach while shallow water detecting.
This 14kt wedding band, large and heavy, made my day. It was deep in the sand.
This silver ring is thick and wide.
I was waist deep at low tide when I picked up this 10kt gold earring with three CZ?s.
This is a large 10kt earring. It has the name ?Lucy? on it.
Now some land finds.
The silver coins are always a pleasure to find. These are dated 1919-D and 1956.
Two nice IH?s, dated 1908 and 1906.
These are the oldest of the 18 wheats I found. They are dated 1910, 1913, 1920 and 1926.
This looks like a biker?s pin. The scan is about twice the actual size. It is heavy too.

You've got me itching for a waterproof detector. Don't leave us drool-less for too long. 
The exception, of course, would be a swimming area. Some ponds have those too.
