Metal Detecting Finds July 11th 2010

Woke up very early this morning, about 5am and decided to go out metal detecting before the sun got too hot. I went out at about 6am and started hitting a common area next to the basketball courts. On about the third hole I dug, the Tesoro Cibola hit it’s first gold of the year ending a long gold dry spell. A nice large 10k class ring from 1969. It was in a very trashy area and I didn’t find much of anything else but the gold was well worth the early morning trip. My coin totals have been small the last 2 months because it has been too hot to do anything let alone dig holes.
