Gold Found - At local Playground!

ANTIQUARIAN · Jun 16, 2011

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!

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:
