I went to one of my local elementary schools that I detect at least twice a year. This time, I slowed down and focused my attention on a small lawn area near the basketball court. In about fifteen minutes, the ATPro "snitched" on four rings that were hiding from us under the sod. Two are the omnipresent "mood" rings, one is a really pretty unmarked, plated(?) ring with dark blue stones (sapphires?)

The score of the group was a lovely "black hills gold" style ring marked, "Ster. 12K," and "C Co. Copyright." The applied leaves on this ring are the two tone yellow and rose gold.

I also found a plain, but sturdy cross pendant to round out the evening. I've been in a silver-gold drought lately so this hunt certainly perked me up! Thanks for looking, happy hunting to all!

Nice hunt ! :occasion14: Sub. I didn't detect today. Went scoping out the rising waters, had hoped to bow-fish but all the spots we use are underwater too much.

Now that's an awesome short hunt.
Sometimes those quickies turn out to be the best.

Short, successful metal detecting hunts are really cool too.

Congrats on a great ring four'fer.
