Hi all,
Glad to be back posting..I have been out but failed to dig any "postworthy" finds this month until today. I needed to get out of the house this morning for a little while, so off I went the same schools I've been hunting for the last 3 years.
I made quite a haul here in town over the last few years (close to $1500 in change and over 150 rings), but it looks like there will be more road trips in the future if I want to bring back the amount of loot that I used to
Anyway, On August 1st, I found a beauty of a class ring at a grammar school that I'm still trying to find the owner of (the school is being cooperative but they're slow in helping me). Now here it is just six weeks later, and I get a nickel signal under a swing at a different grammar school. I start to dig in the freshly poured wood chips and see gold, and another class ring emerges! I was at this very school maybe two weeks ago and this ring wasn't there then! Now that I am finally finding some higher-end merchandise, I'll never underestimate grammar school playgrounds again! The ring is from 1992 and the woman's name is clearly inscribed inside the band. So now I have two rings to find the owner of. Wish me luck!
I also found a few bucks in clad including a Sac dollar, a camo dog tag on a chain and another ring (costume) which makes a total of 29 rings this year. I also found 4 more wheats in a yard up the street, which brings my wheat total to 220 this year. Since the beginning of '09 I've dug 3,589 coins
Not even close to what I found last year, but I'm amazed I found that much considering I've been checking many of the same areas.
I also found a plant ID tag and several foreign coins, 2 are British. I think I showed one of them on an earlier post, but since then I've found more than one Queen Elizabeth, as you can see!
Hope you all find a little treasure this coming week!
