My first silver ring - interesting short hunt in the dark!

Had a short hunt in two parks I had detected previously.

The silver ring came from the park where I found my one and only gold ring  - an 18ct vintage ring.
I had really worked this small piece of ground over during the dry summer period after finding the gold ring and found very little else.
Thought I would try the area again, now with wet ground, to see if it made difference.
It did - right in an area where I had found the gold ring, came a solid 34 signal, and out popped the ring - 5.53g solid silver. Moral of the story - keep going back, when ground conditions change you just never know!

Just to prove how big it is! 

Ring with the 1934 silver shilling found in the second park 

 The final haul - $1.20 spendable, $1.54 old decimals, 1956 and 1957 NZ pennies, 1934 George V silver shilling, aussie 2 cents? an odd brass 720 sign ( anyone know what this is?) an old craft knife and a heart shaped piece of lead.
A busy short hunt, the second park was full of chopped can bits and provided me lots of exercise digging plugs.
Was enjoyable though as you just never know what may turn up next!
Till next time - keep searching!
Cheers
Kevin

    Yes I have often found wet ground is good for silver and also at dusk for some reason.
