    Sunday morning schoolyard hunt

    Looked out the window first thing this morning to see thick fog and heavy dew on the grass.
    Should I or shouldn't I go out. Made a pot of coffee and read some Illinois forum inspiration
    and off I went. Hunted for about 2 hours. 2.46 in clad, 18kgf blue stone (maybe topaz) ring,
    .925 ring w/marcasites, 1950d wheatie, Non gold arrowhead pendant w/chain, small ring
    w/green spatan, junk ring w/purple and white stones, sterling cross pin, and an old football
    pin. Heavy dew made digging a little muddy. Still have an acre to hunt. Then I'll grid the field
    in the opposite direction. Thanks for looking. DFW

    Cool stuff Rich The gold chain on the arrowhead may be
    worth more than the arrowhead. . . it may be marked on the clasp.

    Marcasites are the pyrite looking stones in the ring, they come to a point on the top
