It never ceases to amaze me how much STUFF is in the ground. I went to an elementary school today, that I've hit before, but only the front 1/3 of the field. I did the back 1/3 today. Targets far apart, but still managed two dollar coins + $4.27 in other clad. Two rings, too! The first was silver.
The pendant, I was convinced wasn't silver, but I decided to test it anyway, with foil and spit. Came out smelling so bad, I actually gagged. That's when I thought to myself, "Self... this is probably Silver."
I looked more closely, with a loupe, and found a 925 stamp. Explains the stink!
I've now cleared 200 rings for the year, with 61 silver items. Only a SINGLE silver coin. I found a 1945 nickel, yesterday, cleaning Saturday's clad up.
A War Nickel. Go figure. I wasn't sure I was going to find a silver coin this year. Woot!
Here's the gratuitous pics... of this hunt (the 2 rings and pendant) and the previous 8 hunts worth of silver (November)
