I returned to an old faithful school yard lawn today. It gave me two kids rings yesterday and big silver rings last month.

I swung the coil right up next to the outer boundary chain link fence today, near the baseball diamonds and track and field jumping/throwing pits. I got a solid 90 VDI on the ATPro at two inches, dug and was rewarded with a beautiful sterling spinner ring in a basketweave pattern! :hello2: It is marked ".925 MEX" inside. It is a "semi-chunker," weighing in at 9 grams.

I swung the coil over the hole again, thinking, "Some teen track athlete hung his sports bag or jacket on the fence to compete in the long jump, the ring fell out!" I got a solid 78 VDI, dug, and found the homely mood ring...:laughing7:

Found about $5.00 in clad to round out the day. Thanks for looking and happy hunting to all!

That's a big ring Sub. Those darned spinner rings must have been popular. I have found a few.

Nothing like a bit of the "silver lining", now is there. WTG!

Ya know, those old, musty mood rings look much better when you pull that mood stuff off. Especially when they've been in the ground for a while.

Nice saves!

Thanks MSBB,

I think that parents buy bags of "mood rings" at party stores and throw them at all the children attending their own kids' birthday parties...at the park, at the school, they are everywhere! Sub 8-)
