HOT SPOT STILL GIVING SILVER

I went to my hot spot to see if I could hunt it - the ground is still very soft but not wet.  So I gave it a shot - was finding wheat penny after wheat penny - some memorials got mixed in and then found a mercury dime.  I only hunted about an hour because of the heat and the bugs.  I hope it dries a little more over night - will be hitting again Saturday morning.  Only found 2 clad and 1 canadian penny - the rest were the wheat pennies and dime. I don't mind hunts like this at all - more of the old stuff than the new.

V3X ON THE WAY

I sold my DFX to a friend and now I have found a great deal on a V3X machine which I just purchased and will be receiving on Saturday.  Can't wait. 

UPDATE ON RING

As luck would have it - the ring is gold PLATED.  Which means it's worth nothing.  I can't catch a break.  I'll have to keep searching - I hope there is a gold ring with my name on it.  So close yet so far.

WEEKEND HUNTS NET SILVER AND ALMOST 1ST GOLD RING

Well Saturday we headed up north to my family reunion and as usual my Uncle, brother, son and cousin all did the traditional round of golf while I grabbed my detector and went to the local school.  I was expecting soft ground but was surprised that the ground was dryer than I thought.  The digging wasn't impossible but a lot tougher than here at home.  I did manage a wheat penny and silver ring - which I gave to my niece - and clad.  And we ate a ton of food and saw family so it was a great day. 

Sunday I went to check my hot spot - it was pretty wet so I met D at a park.  There were some puddles but we had enough area to detect.  I did find a silver quarter, couple of wheat pennies and a ring which I'm not sure if it's gold.  Just my luck - can't find the real thing.  14K is in the ring BUT it has a fraction in front of it.  I will take it to a friend of mine that deals with buying gold but I can hear it now - IT'S NOT REAL.  Overall not a bad weekend finding 2 rings.
