  • Six hours over two days and a different friend.

    This old fart does not like the heat.
    So the amount of time spent detecting is much shorter than normal.
    I have been letting the finds pouch dictate the day.
    When it is full I am done.
    On Sunday there was only one good find of note.
    I was walking along the waters edge.

ID:	259539 I have been trying, without success, over the last couple of days to get an answer to the riddle of this ring. Click image for larger version

ID:	259542 Later that night Eric asked if the hunting at Elk Lake was any good.
    Well after letting him know what my experience was the last time out he accepted my offer to hunt the mudflats.
    Unfortunately this trip was cut short when his detector went kerflooey.
    Before his detector quit this coronation medallion jumped into my pouch all by itself.
    It is not dated however if Google is right it should be 1902. Click image for larger version

ID:	259544 On the way off of the beach this addicted person could not help but swing the coil while walking.
    There was a target that I picked up and Eric asked what it was.
    My response was a "copper ferrell" because that is exactly what it looked like.
    In the tumbler it went with the rest of the recyclables.
    The only thing is that a copper ferrell is not what came out. Click image for larger version

    In life there are losers and finders. Which one are you?

    Eric graciously donated the large brass disk and the huge chunk of lead seen in this pile.
    Otherwise this is what came out of my pouch in two days. Click image for larger version

      Bruce could that ring be a class ring. The Olympic emblem on the side does not have to reflect the year 1973 but a significant event for which the area is known. My classring had our graduation year and a hornet and a basketball on it for out hometown Basketball team. Just a WAG.

        That is as good a guess as anything I have heard so far Chuck.
        So far Josten's has no recollection of even making it.
