Metal detector finds

Test results came back the 3 rings which I thought were silver, but not stamped came back positive. The only thing which was stamped (the chain) which I knew was counterfeit came back phony. The earring I found in the street and I didn't think it was real and it came back silver as well.

Do you scrap your cheap Silver finds (Jewelry)? Any coins found??

 

The earring I found she will sell for scrap. I have all my gold, silver and large coin finds. (Halves, dollar coins and some miscellaneous. Wheaties, older nickels etc.)

 

Road trip came up a little short. Dollar coin, the ring is stamped but I think it is fake.

 

Very sad year end scrounge.

 

At least you are out detecting. I haven't been serious with it for years.

 

Because last week was such a smashing success I figured I would try again. Made a little over my gas. Nice to get a dollar coin.

 

Working on my cropping. I had Wind 10 and the paint was a brilliant way to crop, enlarge, join, add ink to certain areas etc. So when I get Wind 11 I go to paint and its just complete garbage. But I was able to crop this in my reg photo app. So it's something anyway. The Jeff dollar is much more golden in hand.

 

Mini hunt made 2x my gas expense. Nice to get a half. At the last spot I pulled this ring which is stamped 10K. I can't tell if it is real or not have to get it tested but the hallmark is fancy, not what I usually find on fake stamps. Current gold spot puts the ring at $115.

 

Might even get a bonus if the diamonds are real.

 

No they are junk. You don't get anything for chips or much for small cheap flawed diamonds unless you are selling some beautiful diamond ring. I have all the gold things I have found this makes 11. I never expected to find even 1 so it's all gravy. The first ring I found had "real" diamond chips in it but the gold guy was very frank about it. I asked if it would increase the value and he said it depends if you are buying or selling. (If you are selling gold, you aren't getting anything for the "real" diamond chips.)

 

Had a nice spill.

 

Very small hunt, but I only used 1/2 gal so I made a profit.

 

Started out to be a disaster. But then I hit a good spot, almost doubled my gas and nice to get a dollar coin. There's no date on the rim but it must have been scrubbed off. 1977 50 Pence Ireland only 4.8M minted, 1.30 in XF, but still worth something to a collector .25-.50.

 

Lincoln was 2010.

 

Yes IK the dates. What I would want is the mint mark,
but its not a rare coin so it's either P or D. Thanks. I can sort of see the copper core (and the 2 clad layers) around the rim so it was ground off some how.

 

Lawn Mower, kicked it deeper into the soil.

 

It was on a playground under some wood chips. IDK how it got ground down but someone did it as the rim sort of shows an Oreo cross section. Layer copper layer.

 

I rarely find modern clad in that good of condition. Must be very fresh drops.

 

Sometimes the winter hunts can be light. Didn't make my gas.
