Storm this morning and one due in less than an hour...typical Missouri spring weather. But I was "energized" enough to go hit a local park during the break, and I am glad that I did. I found a nice, plain white gold ring marked "10K (TW)" in the tot lot, tucked up next to a steel playground ladder! I also found a "BFF" mini-pendant in the tot lot and two kids' rings in the lawn.

I put the coil in a large drainage ditch (covered in mowed lawn) next to the tot lot. I found a cross country race medal, seven "Chuckee Cheese" tokens, and a a complete, but broken >:( 1967 Mattel Fanner 50 cap pistol. These were the ULTIMATE cool toy guns back when I was a kid. I also dredged $8.00 in clad from the park, and there is much more to detect, later, when the sky doesn't want to kill me. Thanks for looking and happy hunting to all. Sub 8-)

Better off in between the storms. Not healthy walking around an open field carrying a lightning rod. ;)

Nice saves!

whitegold5.jpg The glove is pointing to where the ring was in relation to the steel ladder. No problem with the ATPro, she likes close calls...:laughing7:
