Default Silver Ring Today

Well ...took off to Huachuca City today after work. what a bust! only one park which was fairly good size, just didnt seem to be much there for the pickin's. about the time i was thinkin of leaving ,this older lady approaches me holding out a dime saying she found it over there...(right where i started but had strayed from) lol ,oh well...we had a pleasant conversation and she told me that her husband and herself used to go for gold with detectors in California and that she missed it. nice lady. she went on her way and so did i...right back to Sierra Vista to hit up a small park called Soldier Creek. well, there is a church right next to it that anyone can freely detect and i decided to go have a look-see. the whole parking lot is slanted in one direction so i thought i'd go ahead and hit the area where the runoff debris collects . i had gotten about 70 yards through it with nothing...not even a stinkin' red cent and i'm thinkin'... "bust again", when BING! BING! BING! BING!...a solid ,unwavering SILVER signal. Looked down and here's this beaut!This fatty was sitting right on top of some debris out in semi -plain view. had i not had such a nice machine i might have missed it. Inside the band it has 925 stamped. 92.5% silver.wow this just keeps getting better every time out it seems. Iv'e said it once ...i'll say it again...The Ace 250 ROCKS!!! sorry for the cruddy picture quality...once again.
