Hello to all!
I went out this morning even though the forecast was for rain. I stayed fairly close to home because of the weather and possible rain out hitting two schoolyards and a park.
The two schoolyards were both picked very clean. Someone did really good prior to me getting there, no trash and very few targets. I still kept hunting as I didn't have any where else to go that was close. It was also raining the whole time but I kept the detector box covered with a plastic shopping bag. I found a few coins, some trinkets, a mood ring. Finally, at the second school near one of the swings I found a chain and St Christopher medallion with a hockey player on it. It's hallmarked sterling and has someone's initials inscribed on the back.
Near the second school was an old park hidden in the middle of the neighborhood, so I went over there too. The rain was picking up but I got 45 minutes in at the park. It had one small play area. I got a nice junque ring, very pretty, under a bench by the play area. It gave my heart a leap thinking it was a goldie but it's not hallmarked. Both the junque rings are pretty nice.
There was also a nice size hill in the center of the park so I went over and swang a little there and glad I did. I found quite a few coins and finally another keeper, a 925 heart earring. I'll take it! On the side of the hill I dug my best find. After a short dry spell of late not finding any gold, I popped out a 1946 gold Class Ring. Not sure if it's a men's or women's ring, but it's old. It's marked 10K. Unfortunately, it is damaged, bent real bad and worse yet, the top insignia that may have contained the school logo is missing so there will be no way to track down the owner. Oh well, gold is gold, wooowhooo!
The rain really picked up and I called it a day, soaking wet, muddy, and cold.
I was very happy with my three keepers today.
......
A lot of work today and luckily the nice keepers saved my day. Otherwise, kind of a slow day for finds. 3 hours hunt time before I packed it up, only 64 coins for $5.84. Luckily, 19 quarters boosted the face value. Some nice trinkets and rings.
These three rings put me over the 150 ring total mark for the season (47 keepers & 105 junque/trinket ones). Here's all my finds today.
Thanks for reading!! HH to all!
