Yesterday I made my best find yet!! I'm still new to metal detecting. Just started this summer and am totally hooked. Yesterday, I was sort of in a slump. Not having the greatest day I figured I'd go out to a spot I've been a few times but never found anything truly amazing. Decided to try the stream but found nothing but garbage and GIANT spiders. Decided to hit the fields for a bit. After about an hour and a half of digging nothing but garbage I was getting pretty discouraged. I Dug a semi sketchy signal mid 50s after finding tons of scrap copper reading in the same area. Pulled this out and was praying it wasn't more garbage. When I saw the front I nearly had a heart attack. The area I was detecting was the site of native American longhouses so I was pretty sure I knew what I had just found. So here it is! My IHS Jesuit fur trade ring from the 1650s. My oldest find ever!! Dug it in a field that had long houses and captured christians during the 1650s. I still can't believe it!! Hope you all enjoy.
