So I went back to my honey hole where I found the silver and platinum last weekend. I detected in a different area and after about an hour of not finding much, I decided that maybe it would be better if I went back to the area that produced so well for me last week.
I worked along a gravel path and was finding the usual clad and trash. Mostly pennies with pop tabs and foil mixed in. As you can see from the picture, I was digging it all above iron and dug my fair share of trash targets.
The Days Trash Finds
Another 30 minutes had passed when I got another good signal, and since I was digging it all, I decided to dig that signal too. About 4 inches down I was rewarded with this 14K Diamond and solitaire ring! It’s dainty, and I think that it is part of a stackable set, with this part being the centerpiece.

As they say, those who find the most gold dig the most trash, and that proved to be true in this case!
Another cool find was this button. I don’t think that it is real old, but it is a neat find. I haven’t found many buttons in this field, so when I saw this one I got excited.
Button Find
Here is a shot of the recent clad that I’ve found there in the last two hunts. The silver colored coins were tumbled and this is from just a small area. The earring in the picture is what we call Nitro. You know, the kind of find that makes you almost have a heart attack until you realize that it isn’t real…lol
Clad from 2 hunts. Oldest Coin 1957 Nickel
I have a hunt planned at a historic school that was in operation from 1930’s to 1960’s so I have high hopes of finding silver coin #3 and hopefully even more! Who knows what could be there, but I’ll be sure to let ya know!
All in all this was a great hunt. I mean anytime you find gold is a good day!
Start finding the good stuff!

I am so happy for you…I have been working so much lately that to get away for even a couple hours has been a no go. God willing I will be able to go looking in a week or so. I really enjoy hearing about your finds and hunts thank you for sharing.
Appreciate the kind words! Hope your next hunt is an amazing one! Here’s to your next gold find!!!
Congrats on the gold and diamond =) That thing is tiny so good thing you were digging those low low conductive signals.
Yep, it’s definitely a small ring…lol Learning to dig it all and that way I’m sure of what the target is! Thanks for the comment and the follow!
You said the signal was strong/solid, but what were the VDI numbers? Congrats on a great hunt and way to go for digging it all–the only way to hunt.
I don’t remember the VDI bud. I detect by ear mostly and listen for a solid repeatable signal. Then I dig. It was a mid tone though. 🙂 I appreciate the kind words, Happy Hunting!
