Hello everyone! Hope your all staying warm and getting out while you can....at least for us up in the northern states that is. Did some detecting over last weekend down back in South Dakota with a buddy and brought back more finds. Saturday was a nice day but Sunday the snow was flying and the wind wasn't any help either. Did ok though...besides it's better than working.
One of the final stops on Sunday got me 2 nice finds. A 1980 Class Ring made from Argentus…and with some research found out that it is a mixture of Silver and Palladium. Not sure what the Ring is worth but Palladium as of 11/13 is $1,703 an ounce. The other good find was a 1904-S Barber Dime which has a mintage of only 800,000. Will have to do some Electrolysis to it and a few other Silver to get them cleaned up better.
Silver count this time was 12. 1 Washington Quarter, 2 Barber Dimes, 4 Merc's and 5 Roosevelt Dimes.
Dug a 1972 Kennedy Half Dollar that was with 2 Clad Dimes, 2 Older Jefferson Nickels and 18 Wheats with the bottom one being a 1924-D that I wish would have been in better condition.
Clad count was down due to Sunday's snow and wind but still dug 64 Quarters, 22 Dimes, 2 Nickels and 23 Pennies.
Other finds included a Sterling Ring with a Stone, a 1962 Vaccination Tag, another Junker Ring, a Pin with a Long Horn Skull, and a Pink Watch marked Target.
That sums up this outing and it looks like my buddy and I are headed to Iowa this coming weekend so stay tuned on what finds I unearth from there. As always, thanks for stopping by and checking out the finds and Best of Luck and HH to you all on your next outings. Silver King.
