And, it's certa<strong>in</strong>ly not everyone whomanages to f<strong>in</strong>d one before his 7th birthday. But that is exactlywhat happened for Logan S."I found it <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> back yard where you are digg<strong>in</strong>g for <strong>the</strong> fishpond," Logan answered when questioned by his Mom, N<strong>in</strong>a.With<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> next few days N<strong>in</strong>a & Logan sifted <strong>the</strong> area beh<strong>in</strong>d<strong>the</strong>ir 1860's log home and discovered over a dozen buttons,some bullets, and a few co<strong>in</strong>s - all without a metal detector. Butthat was soon to change. N<strong>in</strong>a visited her local metal detectordealer and was soon <strong>the</strong> owner of a new <strong>White's</strong> XLT. With thisnew addition to <strong>the</strong>ir arsenal N<strong>in</strong>a and Logan began a thoroughsearch of <strong>the</strong> area. They were rewarded with a vast assortment ofrelics, some predat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> Civil War. The Mo<strong>the</strong>r & Son teamwent on to unearth many <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g items from <strong>the</strong> early 1700'sright up to <strong>the</strong> mid-1900's.Logan has recently received his own brand new Classic IIdetector.

I had beendetect<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a friend's cherry orchard and showed him <strong>the</strong>r<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> next day. The <strong>in</strong>itials were N.S.T. and after a fewmoments he said that his mo<strong>the</strong>r's <strong>in</strong>itials were N.S.T. She isstill alive and will be 88 this summer. He talked with herabout <strong>the</strong> r<strong>in</strong>g and she said that she had given it to herfiancee <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> spr<strong>in</strong>g of 1936 after she had received anengagement r<strong>in</strong>g from him. He lost it later that summerwhile work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> orchard. She said that she was nothappy with him for los<strong>in</strong>g it, s<strong>in</strong>ce she had saved all herearn<strong>in</strong>gs to pay for it. This was dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> depression whenjobs and money were hard to come by.The r<strong>in</strong>g had been <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> orchard for 68 years and hadbeen damaged by farm<strong>in</strong>g equipment. I had a jewelerstraighten and solder it toge<strong>the</strong>r and it looked brand newwhen I returned it to her a week later. She was amazed <strong>the</strong>r<strong>in</strong>g was ever found and surprised at how nice it looks. Shenow wears it on her f<strong>in</strong>ger after 68 years of be<strong>in</strong>g lost.Lloyd, New York
