While todays Nickel count was higher than yesterday the dime count was down and quarter count was even. Ring count was zero sadly but I did get a large Butter-fly Bling at least!! Think it is my biggest dug dangly bling to date! I have no idea why they couldn't see that on the ground when it dropped but it was in the ground about two inches deep. In this hobby your doing good anytime you have at least one interesting item =)

Hope you enjoyed the butterfly bling and happy hunts to you all =)

As bling goes that is a beauty! The exciting part of our hobby is that there is always the potential for an amazing find. Rare yes, but it's always there.

Perhaps when it was dropped it was a small blingy caterpillar, and during its time underground it went though metamorphosis and became the blingyfly that it is today? Seems like the most logical explanation to me.

hi dirtlooter thanks ! True, but we sure do try he-he =)

Hi beez , yeah all the stones are still attached and it did not get gouged by my screwdriver somehow ! Yeah was trying hard for another rare find , but have to remember rare equals infrequent =D

Nice dig and thank you for sharing those pictures

Hi 46Wheat , thanks and your welcome =)

Hi Hendo, good story there =D Here is my guess , some kid was making snow angels and it fell off into the snow and got buried !

Hi Msbeep thanks =) I think it found the nickels to be a bit on the heavy side perhaps =D
