Rings

Where is the best place to go and look for lost rings? Parks? Schools? Where do you lucky people who have found them before, tend to generally find them?

hi guy. rings are where ever mankind has been. they are not always a hot signal.use low discrimination. dig a lot. and use that "I KNOW IT"S A RING!" mentality. i have never really water hunted but i think swimming holes and beaches would be great. HH Bill

Yes swimming holes and beaches are great especially in the wet sand areas.

I could think picnic grounds to be fair also.

The best places are where fingers get wet and slippery, or cold and they shrink, then the rings slide off. Also any radical hand movements can sling off a ring, such as pitching horseshoes, throwing frisbees etc...

Cool thanks for all the info. I don't live near any beaches here in the middle of missouri but I may go try to detect down at the lake. Is it ok to metal detect at a public lake? I wouldn't see why not... I've tried parks and picnic grounds... they are landfills... haven't found anything but pull-tabs and nails there. I'll probably just find a ton of trash and fishing lures at the lake but oh well its worth a shot.

Yes it is ok to detect at public lake beaches (barring obvious historical monument sites). Swimming beaches will always be the best producers for jewelry. Reason is: people frolicking around horizontally while swimming, cool water shrinks fingers, slippery suntan lotion get applied all over, people tossing frisbees and volleyballs (where things accidentally fly off), and my favorite: People take all their jewelry off for "safe-keeping" while they swim or play. And, you guessed it: the next person comes along to shake the sand off the beach blanket, etc...

#1. Beaches, even small public park beaches.
#2. Schools near playgrounds.

what all is usually found at school playgrounds?? Just clad? or does anyone actually find good stuff at them?
