A Good Day in Moon's book!

Hey Gang......those of you who know my posts know that the parks and schools in my area are hunted to death. Never anything left by the time I get to them. It's been an ongoing mission for me to find SOMEPLACE that's not hunted. Anyway, I found a "new" park yesterday that I didn't even know about. I went early and found about 5 bucks in clad and a pair of sunglasses. That's really good for parks around here! Those coins had been in the ground for a good bit.

I moved onto another place that I haven't been to in awhile. We haven't had any rain to speak of here, so the ground is crusty. If anybody drops anything, it'll bounce and just lay there! We need a mushy Spring so that lost things can get buried for us MDers!

Okay.....well anyway, I got a good quarter signal yesterday in the crust and I dug down with my trusty, rusty, crusty remover and out popped this cool .925 ring. I haven't found a ring in quite awhile. I was very excited. It ain't purdy, but I'll keep it!

Thanks for reading and Happy Hunting!

That's a nice big silver ring! I'd be happy finding it for sure (under any conditions).

Congratulations!

Cool looking ring, Moonshadow....it's big, too.

It's good to hear that even though all your parks have been pounded to death by other md'ers in your area, you still perseverve, and get out there and find something. Those other md'ers will never get it all. I've made so many good finds this year from pounded to death parks....No virgin parks in my area.

Congrats,

Hey Moon! You got that right, when the ground is dry and things are dropped, they're found by others right on top of the ground..a wet fall with decent temps would also help with more finds in the spring..we're getting the wet weather kind of late, so I'll probably have to find new ground next year.

Anyway nice ring! I'll bet that made your day. Keep checking and re-checking the schools, the ones here have been hunted to death (by me

) but I keep going back every month or two and still find more, especially near the swings and play areas.

Re: A Good Day in Moon's book!

Thanks everyone....Yep, the ring was pretty heavy. One of the fattest ones I've found so far.

Natman, thanks for the encouragement. I know all to well that there is no such thing as a "hunted out" place, I just have this local MDer that hits those playgrounds really early and get all the fresh goodies! >:(

The stuff I find is usually on the outer perimeter from where he searches!

HH to all,
Moon

Moon, you may have to drive a little farther to a neighboring school district and find some fresh ground next spring..that's what I did, and I actually found places that haven't been detected for years or never (based on the large amount of finds at these places).

Best of luck to ya!

Re: A Good Day in Moon's book!

Yeah....I've done that too! These poor kids here are just....well poor! I've been to little town schools with big playgrounds that I "knew" were not hunted and got zilch! I just keep researching though, and occasionally get lucky!

Thanks again.............Moon
