I had some stuff to do this Saturday morning thru early afternoon, but with nice sunny weather (but still pretty cold) I headed out here in Hamilton to try to snag a permission. I got the OK at a nice 1910's home with a large front yard. The owners were super nice, and I gave them some wheat pennies dating back to 1918 that I found there. My best keepers were a cool "925" marked Sterling Silver Ring, and a 1910 Barber Quarter.
The quarter was an interesting target, as the lawn had buried brass sprinkler heads that rang up 89-91 on the AT Pro, but after checking a couple of these out I knew what they were. The Barber rang up at about 89 but wasn't in line with the sprinkler heads, and the audio was that nice sweet sustained high tone! I was sure happy to see Old Shiny in the dirt!
I did get another OK to detect at a nearby yard, and got a solid "52" on the AT Pro. Thinking it was a nickel, I was surprised and delighted to see a 10K Gold Ring! It is actually a pair of 10K marked rings soldered together, with "LOVE STORY" also marked inside the rims. Pulled some wheat pennies and clad from both yards, and had a good time detecting! Thanks for your interest!
