Damn near heart attack...

[Auriemma]

This morning I decided to go out to my old park hunting ground with my old school Sovereign XS metal detector.

After 3 hours... I managed to dig up the usual trash, $1.82 (5Q, 3D, 2N, 17P), a key, the remnants of a Oakwoods key fob, and a ring that damn near gave me a heart attack. Sadly it's costume.

That happens to most of us. Hope a real one ends up in a hole one day. Congrats on getting out

But that thrill was amazing, wasn't it? Congrats

Nice bunch of goodies! Congrats!

I've dug a few of those heart attacks myself! Disappointing yes, but those first few seconds are awesome!
The real deal will turn up when you lest expect it.

Some costume jewelry is valuable too. An old friend of mine used to sell costume jewelry. That ring is nice looking anyway.

That is too funny; I know the look all to well and still react the same way. Then when I those times when I just dig it and figure it for nothing and find out later when I clean up that it is very good.

At least you stayed conscious, if I dug that I would have passed out before checking if it was real or not
Good diggings!
