Life tried to give me lemons today, but I used them to make lemon-drop martinis. I had good weather and several hours to dig, so I headed out on the 30 mile (one way) trip to my happy hunting grounds. I get to a schoolyard that is new to me and realized that I left my treasure bag, with Lesche tool and Garrett "Carrot" at home, ugh. I took stock of what I had in my truck besides my trusty ATPro. I remembered that I had a detector bag in the back with older spare parts and supplies! I put a quick kit together of older, weaker, not-so-ergonomic tools and headed out to the school yard. I was gifted with a marked 10 karat gold ring with CZ's from a soccer field goal box. About three feet behind that ring was another gold colored ring that was on the surface, barely hidden by the grass. I found an omnipresent aluminum kids ring in the tot lot also.
I decided to go to another older school that gave me sterling rings earlier this month. I was not disappointed. I found another crowd-pleasing mood ring and and while checking a narrow strip of dirt/lawn between the running track and fence line, I found an itty bitty (marked size 3/ .925/ NV) birthstone ring! I also scored a USMC (?) infantry corporal collar device in the old school lawn too. (Can anyone advise on the era this was used? It has two straight pins on the back.)
Harvesting gold and silver was a great way to end the calendar year 2015. I wish you all a very safe and Happy New Year. Happy Hunting if you go out this weekend! Thanks for looking. Sub
