Went out to an old park Dave, Anthony, Suzanne and Allen B. have all hunted before. I decided the dry soil would yield some old nickels. I'd barely gone 20 feet from the car and my first hit was a dateless buffalo nickel. Woo hoo! A great start. I saw Dave down at the other end of the park. I decided to keep at the area I was in. I was digging some clad and dug what I thought was a junk ring from about 7" deep and a 07-32 signal on the E-Trac. It was a broken ring, but broke even more once I had it out of the hole. I tossed it in my pouch. I then got another nice nickel hit and it was a 1902 V nickel. Picked up a few wheats and beavertails and then got a nice 1919 Mercury dime.
I walked over to talk to Dave to see how he was doing and pulled out the ring. He said. "I think that's gold" and I was like, I'm not sure, it broke apart pretty easily." Those were the best finds for the day. I forgot all about the ring until I saw Suzanne on Friday and I mentioned it and she asked to see it, so I pulled it out of the trunk. Looked at it a bit more closely and spit on it a bit and thought, well, maybe it really is gold. I then took it in to work and actually washed it off and found the 14K mark.
The last couple weeks of September's finds accumulated in the trunk, so the other pictures cover that timeframe.
