Week Long Relic, Coin And Water Hunt Day 1, Updated With Day 2

[F350Platinum]

On a camping trip to a campground that used to be an old hunting lodge, it's changed hands twice and is owned by a large company now. It's near the Outer Banks in North Carolina, this is my third year coming here. Beautiful weather this week, it should be a lot of fun.

The campground isn't full at all, and the General Manager has graciously allowed me to hunt pretty much anywhere I want. There are 148 acres here, and a long stretch of waterfront but no beach. There are piers and the water isn't all that deep so I may go in the water at some point. 😬 Maybe. There has to be some jewelry out there. 

I didn't have a lot of time today because I got the green light at about 1pm, so I went to the volleyball court and the recreation area that has a few amenities.

Dug a bunch of coins and this nice looking kid's ring.

It's a little crab with some sort of stone, sizable and not precious metal.

Next I went out to the tent camping area. I've found a lot of live ammo here from the old hunt club but not today. Got another bunch of coins and got my favorite find today, this really old signet ring. 

It's kinda beat up but it has a "V" on it, it appears to be brass but it's very thin and strong. I'll have to clean and test it when I get home. No hallmarks.

Here's the total take for today, lots of old clad, a couple of nickels and copper memorials. I did get 8 Zincolns but left 3 in the trash:

And here's the trash. Very little iron, but can slaw is still a problem.

Enjoy your stay & keep us posted.

Thanks, it's not stamped, surprisingly strong but thin. It's some sort of alloy. No bronze disease 🤔

I'll probably update this when I get home and get a chance to clean it, I'm really hoping it is a good one. 🙂

5 more days to go!

Great job on the finds.  Nothing wrong with 2 rings.  

Heck I get crabby when I do not find rings 😆

Great way to start off, F350, and congrats on the rings! I bet those shotgun caps date from the era of the hunting lodge. 

You're right I'm back to basics with V1.1, but really liking it too and learning even more about the capabilities of the D2.

Enjoy your vacation and I'm looking forward to your posts of more great finds! 😎

That blue sky alone was worth the trip F350. Digging some goodies was just a bonus!

Thanks Cap'n, I decided to do the same thing today, start with vanilla General and slap some stuff on it. 

Did about the same as my newer version of Relic Reaper I'm working on.

Still not digging much iron tho, so I'm digging that 😀
