Out for 1 1/2 hours today to the same place and same area. About 50 ft. from yesterday's find was this "beauty". At the price of gold currently, I will take ugly gold any day.🙂 That makes 5 gold rings all found within a line of 100 ft.

Same settings as yesterday except for noise cancel. 15" still rocks on the Nox!

where do you get the small dry bag? Does it go on a rope around your neck or a carabiner to your belt ,or what?

Mine is similar. I just roll the top down and clip the two ends around my belt and let it hang down on my butt. You could use something else to clip it on as well.

I live in Wisconsin

What part? I'm visiting there coming up in the next month if all is OK with distancing, etc.

I use a small dry bag that when rolled up is small enough to buckle to my belt. I wear it on my back vs. front side so it does not get in the way. I have never had a problem with it leaking or coming off. I keep keys, wallet, and phone inside.

Got out today for about 2 1/2 hours to a local rec. center/pool that has been closed down due to covid-19. I have not detected there before, despite being close to home. At first I hit the side of the gravel parking lot because the gates had all been padlocked to any fields. I found quarters, the large coin/token and the .925 pendant from Thailand. The signal for the coin/token was a STRONG 35.  https://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins.pl?coin=14173 I thought it was another buried can, but the sound went away as I lifted the coil, unlike all the cans I was digging. It was on the edge of the parking lot close to a flower patch of the neighbor next door. I moved to a new spot  and in the front of the building was the .925 ring on the first dig up front. After that I saw that the field was open and went onto the kickball/small baseball field. There were a lot of quarters and dimes. This spot is close to virgin because the quarters would be gone otherwise. There is more jewelry waiting! The 15" coil impressed me again.🙂

You aren't by chance trying to metal detect and dig a hole on Skinwalker Ranch?

Good eye you know your Chrysler’s. Anyway it looks a lot like the center piece from one of these.

 

Looks like you tracked it down! After your response, I looked up just the center cap for the Lebaron, and it is a match. Thank you to all for solving this fun mystery!

I think its a red lens off a railroad lantern. I used to have a larger lantern than the one in the photo and it had larger lenses. 

Interesting...Does it have a convex or concave lens?

I'll play this game, is it these?

Close!

Thanks everyone for your help! No exact matches yet, but at least I now know it is a center cap for sure and it is from the 50's.

These are replicas for a Mercury I think, could be this with the center emblem missing?

These look to be flat. The one I found has concave glass. Looks close though.

Is that wheel bearing grease on the edges and inside of the piece

No, no grease. I washed the sand off and it was still wet.

I took the15" coil off the Equinox today to try some relic hunting in a very trashy area. The 11" seems so small! I found this along an old railroad located in a city environment now. In front of the red coloring is glass. My thought is off the center of a wheel. Any ideas?

Nice cross and chain. I have hound a few small gold crosses with my Nox. Nothing too deep, only a few inches.

I'm in Florida too!

East or west?

I like it.    

Is the cross hollow or solid?     If its hollow that would make a good test piece as gold crosses are normally hard to find due to their angularity and low conductivity.

The cross is kind of like a tray that is holding some sort of metal that the gems are inset into. It's almost like solder was poured around the gems and it is holding them in. I have not seen something like it before.

AMW, if you go dectecting, anything you find counts in my book.  I (and I'm sure everyone) has found 'sunbakers' where just my eyes were involved, regardless digging/not.  Sounds like your Eqx + 15" inch coil called your attention to it.  Nice chain and cross!

P.S.  I assume you gave your Carrot a bath.  The only time mine looks like that is after a good cleaning, and it doesn't stay that way for long.

Thanks 🙂 Here in FL the ground is so sandy that there is not much to stick to the carrot. It has also been very dry recently, so even the sand doesn't stick to it.

Nice find. Good you could get out. It's snowing right now in northern Michigan.

Well, here in FL we are well into the "hot" season. Temp was 90 yesterday and today's dew point is 72. I feel for those in colder climates and can remember those days well in Utah when I knew there was a quarter under the ground, but the ground was frozen. I don't miss the cracking hands and the numb fingers and toes. 

I detect a hole lot of us just coiled up ready to change our disposition as we search for treasured words that have a nice ring to them; the prospect makes me gold-feverish. I know these are too Simplex, but Tekneticly we just past the Equinox a couple weeks back. It will take some time to get on th..e-trac.

Your going to need some more fingers, I'm sure my wife would donate a couple Ha Ha. Good job !!!  I believe the hexagon tack looking thing in the background is a plaster fastener. They were used to hold the wire to the plaster board in commercial construction. Around 1950's/1960's. I've found 2 in the last couple days

I would not have guessed that. I thought it might have been off of a key holder. Thanks for mentioning it.

I too really like the 15" Equinox coil, I use it far more than the 11" for coin/jewellery hunting

I have not had the 15" off for a long time. It just covers so much ground and is able to pick through a remarkable amount of trash for me with the recovery set to 7. 

Hit the football field close to home today for a few hours. About 20 minutes in, a strong 7/8 blared out. Down about 1-2 inches was the 14K ring. Only change after that, but it was great to find gold again. 15" Equinox coil covering ground again today; love that coil.
