Got up early, early this morning and was digging at 6:00 A.M. at a park where I played baseball as a little leaguer. I recall the parents use to sit in lawn chairs along the street and cheer for their kids. Thought there might be some deep silver along that area. Got there and found the park completely changed from my youth. The ball field was basically the same but the area of interest was concreted over! And, know what ? That field was sure a lot smaller than I remember! They had put in a set of playground toys over where the wading pool use to be so I thought, what the heck I'm here, it's cool so I might as well run the playground. I found a clad quarter first thing and then as I searched near the equipment I kept getting a coin signal but wasn't sure because of the interference from the metal legs on the equipment. I turned the discrimination way down on my GTI 2500 and moved the coil ever so slowly up to the point I got interference. As I slowly backed it out I could hear a faint signal. As I held down the pinpoint or fast track button as Garrett call it, I was reading an A-5 at one inch, so the nice lady's voice confirmed. I brushed aside just a few bits of pea gravel with the tip of my Gator tool and could see the thin side of the ring as it was standing on edge with the heavier side down. My first thought was, pull tab, but the machine was reading an object similar in resistance as a dime but smaller. I flipped it over and could see it was a ring. Turns out to be a child's initial ring with the initial "S". It wouldn't even go over my pinkie. I think it is silver plate but can't tell for sure. The ring was sized right where something had been stamped into the inside and made it illegible. Anyway, it's the fourth ring in three weeks, none previous, so I must be doing something righter! (new word ). I ran around the edge of the remaining outline of the old wading pool area and by this time the sun was up and it was already getting hot, so I cut it short and headed for home. It was 7:45 A. M. and already 82 degrees. JIM
