Title: First Gold ring and some silver!!
Post by: dsinfinite on February 21, 2014, 08:48:48 PM
I was at a beach that a lot of people on this forum say they have had bad luck at, I found coins a silver ring and a gold ring and I was quite happy oddly enough there was a 1903 penny on the surface , I guess some of the guys here look in the wrong places

Metal detecting is like a drug lol I can't wait until i can go out next I just love history and the fact you never know what you will find for instance earlier I found a 1937 penny in my garden and my house was made in the 60s, apparently my house was built on old farm land lol.

I bet that ring was a belter when it had all the stones in place. 

It's amazing what you can find in your garden, especially if you do some digging.  A couple of Time Team programs had members of the public digging trial pits in their gardens.  When you think about it all land has a history, some older than others, but it's there. Oldest thing I found when digging veggie plots was a fossilised fern leaf. It gets to the stage that every little rock has to be checked, just in case.  Sad or what. ::)
