Gold Found - At local Playground!

[ANTIQUARIAN]

Hello Everyone!

Decided to knock off work an hour early today to hit a playground that I'd spotted earlier this week. I was on the site for only about 15 minutes when this beauty popped out of the sand! It's marked 10K inside and has three rows of diamonds. It was only about 3" down, so it must have been a pretty recent loss. Also found $2.40 in change and a very cool Hot Wheels T-Bird!

Best of luck to all,
Dave

WOW! I know you did the happy dance when you found that ring! Congrats!

It's funny you should say that, because when I found it there was a young couple sitting on the grass right next to the playground. The guy said, "did you just find that in the sand"? I said "yup", and he said, "man that's amazing"! You can see his girlfriends sandals at the bottom of the picture.

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks Lookin, that's why I hunt them too. I'm always amazed at the amount of coins that kids seem to lose! I only wish they would lose more of our $1 & $2 coins and less pennies!

The T-bird looks older I have 1 just like it that and one with the port hole windows, they have 1977 on the bottom. At one time they booked for about $50-$55 apiece.

Thanks buddy, it sure does!
I was lucky I didn't have a stroke when I first saw it!
I initially figured it had to be a junk ring, thankfully I was wrong!

Yeah, mine has the same thing on the bottom - Hot Wheels, '57 T-Bird, 1977. This baby was die cast, it's heavy and other then a couple of flecks off the paint it looks pretty good for having been in the sand.

Thanks,
Dave

wow sweet ring.

Thanks Bob!

Best of luck to you man!
