Well I went detecting at a couple schools I found yesterday, after a 2 month break due to illness and travel. I found a little over $6 of new change, and also a couple more items. My "victory" was this huge .925 silver ring that weighs .57 oz! It once held a nice stone of some kind, but its missing now. My agony of defeat was the "$20 gold coin" I was sure I had found. It was a strange signal and when I had dug the plug, 4" down I could see the reeded edge of a "gold coin". I about peed my pants......the only coin that thick just HAD to be a large gold coin! Photographing the recovery step by step, I documented my "agony".....lol It was nothing more that a threaded part of a lamp that holds the bulb assembly in!
