Today, I headed out to a town that's about 1/2 hr drive away. There's a big park with an old history, and that's where I started. I decided I wasn't going home until I got something good today. I searched for jewelry and megaclad potential in all the likely areas, and sample scanned all the older looking ground for maybe something old. All I got was a trickle of clad, lots of pennies and pulltabs. There were people everywhere, and more showing up, so I gave up and went to another park. Same story there. No silver. No gold. No clad carpet. After that I drove around a bit, and found a school with a football field, three baseball fields, and a huge playground; all old looking. This place was a bust too. I scanned all over, picking up the occasional penny, dime, penny, quarter, penny or penny. I emptied my trash pouch twice. For a last ditch effort, I hit some old looking curbstrips by some big old houses. The first block was nothing. Across the street, though, I finally found something good...silver!...a Barber dime! Then, a few minutes later on the same strip, a small ring showed up. I first thought it was silver, but noticed a slight gold tint, and looking close, I could see "10K" with some other markings. At home, I found the other markings included "R.G.P.", plus some plating started coming off. 
I worked hard for my 1907 O today. I dug 97 pennies plus $7.45 other clad. One penny is 1943 Canadian. I doubt there's more than one wheat in there, if any.
