Today, I went to a sports field I had never been to. It had been cherry picked of all the 3" and less drops. Most of my finds were in the 3" to 8" range. All finds were found today at this one area.

I found three rings but only two were .925 silver and a 19" very thin .925 silver necklace.

The silver ring with the stones was found in the field masked by a corroded zinc cent about 4" down. After recovering the zinc cent coin and hitting the hole again with the coil, the ring was found. The other silver ring was found underneath the aluminum bench about 3" down. And the very thin silver necklace was found about 1 1/2" down.

The $20.00 in clad was a nice treat to fill up the pouch with. Never-the-less, today, I found 57 dimes with just broke my previous record of 56 dimes.

In my opinion the NOX does a great job of unmasking the good targets from iron and zinc.

Thanks stopping by!

Thanks Captain Silver! Since I did not find any silver coins there, I will take the jewelry as a consolation prize.

Thanks NCtoad! Those clad days sure are a good workout. The very thin chain was stretched out probably like four inches and it rang in like 27ish. Although it was not very deep, I was glad to see it did pickup the thin silver. I have had good similar results in the past too with the thin silver chains. Numbers would range from 23-27.

Thanks GeneralQuarters! I am having a good year by my standards for the number of clad dimes I have found this year too.

One heck of a hunt JAK. That is a lot of clad and even more impressive the 2 Sterling Rings and a Sterling Neckless. Outstanding! Trapper

Thanks Trapper! If I had not cranked down the sensitivity while hunting under the metal bench, I probably would not have found the one ring with stones. As for the necklace, it was reassuring that the NOX detected it for being so thin and semi-stretched out.
 
Thank you!

Congrats on the clad! I'm tickled when I score $3.00 plus wore out!!

Thanks Chrisco! And the ironic part is, there was an attached tot lot, and I did not find a single cent or even a gum wrapper. I think someone got to it before I did.
