Hello Everyone! :hello:

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! :o 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

That's good advice Cru, but now I've got an even bigger problem!

I just showed the ring I found yesterday to my wife and now she won't give it back! :'( She says "there's no way you're going to sell this, I'm keeping it!" She then slipped it on here finger and disappeared into the bedroom! What do I do now? I wasn't prepared for this! But, I've certainly learned a valuable lesson . . .

I'M NEVER GOING TO SHOW MY WIFE ANYTHING I FIND EVER AGAIN! :laughing7:


Cheers,
Dave

Thanks Doug! :icon_thumright:
I've only been detecting for about 8 months now and 5 of those months I spent detecting snow plowed piles at the local mall! :laughing7: I feel I'm finally getting a better understanding of what my detector's telling me. I'm only coin shooting at the kids playground areas, so the ring was an unexpected bonus find for me! :thumbsup:
