Found this key to a church outside the parsonage on July 23rd...........

The pastor had been shepherding another flock in Florida and recently returned. He stopped by my house to ask a favor and I returned the key. It was a gesture made in jest (the church locks have been changed since the denomination change) and the pastor got a real chuckle..........
He asked me if it was possible to search his yard for a lost gold ring. New member Pathfinder100 and I sectioned out half the yard and began to search.

It was a clad fest, but we both managed a Buffalo each along with a few relics. I netted (the wrong) ring for my 27th and a sterling silver earring............

We'll tackle the rest of the yard this week and hope we come up with the gold!
Thanks for lookin' in and I hope all your detecting quests are fruitful................

Good luck, hope you find the lost gold. :notworthy: Looks like you pulled some keepers. Two buffalos are a good sign.
