On Sunday, Sue and I spent just under three hours hunting an old ballfield. Finds for the day were 69 clad coins worth $12.59 plus a 4.57 gram sterling ring for Sue and a 1942 Walking Liberty Half for me.

Thanks Tom.....the field we hunted dates back to the early 50's and is in an out of the way location so maybe hasn't been hunted to death.

Nice finds for only a few hours of fun. Having both the AT Max and the AT PRO, do you still swing the ACE 400? I have a ACE 400 and thinking of adding another machine for my daughter. The Apex looks like another option too.

In your dreams Tommy.....if you read the post you'll notice that the Walker was MINE But...if it'll help you sleep tonight I do admit that Sue beat me on clad quarters 21-20.

Thanks PrimeTime....I use the Ace 400 occasionally but it's mainly a backup unit. The Ace 400 will find the good stuff though.

Thanks Ron.....digging a bunch of clad is always fun but it's even better when some silver pops out of the ground.

Congrats on the ring and the walker. The ring looks like a wedding band. Any markings on it?

Thanks Toad.....Though the ring is of plain design I doubt it's a wedding band because it's very thick and quite small, most likely a kid's ring. No markings on the outer part of the ring. The inner part of the ring has the usual .925 and a hallmark that I've been unable to come up with from checking a couple of sites that identify hallmarks. The mark looks like the letter "W" with an inverted "W" on top of it surrounded by a square.
