Hi all,
We started out our Memorial Day Weekend with a rain shower, but it eventually cleared up so I went out to a school I haven't been to for about a year. I was surprised I hardly found anything in the wood chips and around the swings..I think maybe someone else detects there because the place was just too clean - it reminded me of the first time I was there, I didn't find much!
Sometimes at these schools there are tetherball poles, and I have found more than one ring within several yards of them, all silver ones. I was ready to head home when I got a strong signal by one of the poles, so as I started to put my digger to the ground I saw a ring that was only partially buried
Another swipe of the coil and another signal. It was another ring About 2 inches north of that very spot, I dug up another, then another! I immediately thought this was stolen merchandise. I took them home soon after, cleaned them off an searched each one for some kind of a marking. The magnifier revealed they were plated 
They're quite nice looking rings however..two of them are the same type and the other two are different, having a different amount of stones. The band on one was a little bent up, but that's how it was found and my digger never touched it I got quite a rush for a moment, and even though they're not valuable, I've never dug 4 at once before!
I also came home with a another key and some clad to pay for the gas I hit my 1,600 coin mark with today's finds 
I hope you all find a little treasure this weekend as we celebrate our heroes

) For a minute I thought I cornered the market! I'll find another soon..not all at once though!
And so have you decided what you'll purchase with this years coin finds? Ya know, I'm still waiting on my Sweet Home Alabama video, huh?
