Hell yeah! You are on a hot streak! That cast, ornate buckle and cob are awesome!!

Very, very little Civil War activity around my part of the state. I live in the mountainous, western part of the state so that stream comes down from a higher elevation and the water does look clean, but, as you can see, there’s lots of litter in that stream.

Very nice!

Hell Yeah Bob! Old gold is much more exciting than your run of the mill modern stuff. Do you have a acid test kit? I would guess it’s high karat.

Hell Yeah CPT! Way to go!!

That’s a productive patch of grass!

Nice merc!

Is that a discontinued model? I couldn’t find it on their site.

Have you tried the phoenix model? Paystreak swears by it but others not so much.

Hell yeah Bob! Most of us can only dream of finding a coin like that! Good luck in the new year and I’m looking forward to the gold coin you find in ‘24!

I don’t know how you found that but thanks! It’s my best “junker” ring!😁

Merry Christmas to everyone here! Such a great forum!

Thanks. That’s what I figured too.

New pic added of the markings.

It’s C C PLM. Between the C’s is an insignia that looks like the Boy Scout symbol without the eagle. The letters aren’t stamped, they’re etched or engraved.

So Friday I got the gopro and today I hit a section about a half mile downstream. I got a honker ring but can’t tell what it’s made of. Not silver (rings up a solid 60 on the D2). I tested it for platinum and the solution dissolves the rub mark after about 10 seconds. I just checked and it’s very slightly attracted to a magnet. I had to hang it from a string to see this. Is it stainless? Here’s the rest of the haul. A full mini bottle of Jagermeister!

Yeah I was impressed that it even turned on! However the touchscreen has gotten worse. There’s some moisture inside as I can see a little bit of fogging on under the lens. Maybe it will dry out after a while and start working properly again.

I think there is video from the original owner on it but I can’t access it. The touch screen isn’t functioning like it should.

That watch may fetch you some money if listed on ebay. Years ago when my dad died, I found his old seiko watch from the late 60s or early 70s. It was an early battery operated electric watch. A guy on ebay bought it off me. He restored old seiko watches.

Great job on the stone!

Yesterday, since the temps were supposed to reach around 60 degrees, I decided to hunt the tubing creek where I recently found a gold ring. This time the water was up higher than the last time and there were a lot more people fishing. So I decided I would the section of stream where the tubing begins. It’s a wider slow, deep area that has a sandy bottom. I ended finding a lot of split shot sinkers, a few pulltabs and about a $1.50 in change. I was starting to get cold and was heading back to the put-in area when I got a banging 88 on the D2. I was thinking smashed aluminum can. Well, I dug down three scoops in the sand and out comes this black box. Right away I knew it was a gopro and looking at it closer I saw Gopro on the front and Black 7 on the side. Having absolutely no experience with any gopro, I had to go online and find the instructions to figure out how to charge it. It takes a usc-c cord and I have one so when I plugged it in it instantly came on! However the touchscreen did work at first, but is getting to not work so good now. The battery compartment was completely dry and the battery was dated 2018. It will charge, but seems to lose the charge overnight. I actually took some pics and a video when it was working well. It also has a front screen but it wasn’t working at first and looked slightly cloudy, but now, as the rear touchscreen isn’t working, the front screen has come on and looks perfectly clear. I’m going to let it sit for a few days and charge it back up. Heck, I even got the voice commands to work at first. They’re intermittently working now.

I doubt that this is your problem, but one time mine wouldn’t come on. I tried re-pairing to no avail when I realized the puck wasn’t fully snapped into place on the headphones. It looked like it was though. It must have gotten bumped and wasn’t making contact.

Same for me but PWM. I just like the way it sounds.

What you need is a deus 2 and the mi6. Then you’ll be able to hear the pinpointer through your headphones!

Can’t complain about a nice 19th century barber dime! Congrats!
