I went out to one of the many parks in my area the other day with no great expectations other than a beautiful fall day and some exercise. I got one of those signals on my Ace 350 that was screaming "Dig Me". I was really surprised when I dug my first plug of the day and this large man's silver ring rolled out. It's marked "Mexico" and "925" and weighs 10 grams. Better yet, it fits! I know I had a big smile on my face as I moved on . Sure had me thinking "it's gonna be a good day, Tater". Not 20 minutes later at the base of a large tree I dug up a 1927P Merc. That is only the second silver coin for me since June when I was dumb-lucky enough to find a 1942 Merc. on only my 3rd time out detecting. I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever find another. Anyway, that was my first 2 silver day and I thought I'd share. The other ring with the red, I found in June. It looked like it was in the ground for a while and in a park we used to hang out in during the early 70's. I'm thinking "old Hippie ring". Lol Cleaned up nice.
Just curious. I like to clean up some of the silver rings I find. It doesn't take long to buff and polish them to a not perfect but wearable condition. I kinda think that if the melt value is, let's say $5.00 and I show it to a friend and they say, "that's nice, I'll give you 10 bucks for it", I'm ahead of the game and a friend got a nice ring for a bargain price. Anyone else do that?
Anyway, thanks for looking.
