Worm and I got out for a short Easter day hunt this morning. We went to a fairly new elementary school, but the historical aerials site showed the old school off to the side of where the new school sits. Just a field there now. I got a crusty wheat then got a 1928 merc. Other items of interest were a made in Hong Kong dragon ring and an old lipstick case. Not shown is a 1918 merc I got this past tuesday at a community center. These two mercs bring me to 22 for the year.

Nice work toad!

I spent 14 hours detecting four new sites this weekend and found nothing but clad and trash. I'm worn out from digging, lol.
 
Congrats on number 22 Toad!!! Lol man I'm going to have to stop relic hunting so much..."all the nails, and can slaw are some nice relics to dig, but I'm now down 2 silvers!!! :laughing:
 
Congrats on number 22...Was camped at an old WWII training camp...
detecting is a big NO-NO there....but man theres several old home places and cemetery's....

Thanks Darren! You need to hit some of those old houses!
Nice finds...is the ring silver?
Thanks! I believe it's just aluminum...it cleaned up nicer than I though it would. Says Hong Kong on the inside.
Congrats on the Merc Toad! Like that dragon ring too :)
Thanks GS! Yeah, those unique finds make it interesting.
