jewelry I found in the last two months

[cybercop106]

I've only been detecting again since mid-Sept, but so far I found the gold (plated) watch buried 4" deep in a sports field on campus, the gold band (14kt) 3" deep in a different sports field, the silver ring (.925 pure) 5" deep in a soccer field in the city and the class ring (10k whi gold) in the grass near the street curb in front of the second oldest building on campus.
The class ring I traced to a student here on campus (HS grad 2003) and I sent her an e-mail to pick it up at my police station.
The thin gold ring (and the silver locket) I found in the front yard of my house near the driveway about 4" deep. I thought it was junk, but when I cleaned it up it turned out to be 18kt gold with a jade setting.
The silver ring is cool (tho slightly bent) in that the setting is on a thin rod and can be flipped over to display a different setting on the opposite side of the abalone (which, of course, was missing when I found it)

I live in Rolla snee, you're too close to tell my secret spots to..........

Actually, they aren't secret. There's a lot of good stuff on the UMR campus. You just have to know where you can dig without permission and who to get permission from otherwise. The Regional Fairgrounds and carnival site (Lion's Club Park) are good too. So is the ball field complex at BerJuan park. Don't rush up here and find ALL "my" stuff tho...............

Well, with me not having a detector at this point, and it getting to the end of the season. I don't think you have too much to worry about there! If I were you I'd check the umr soccer or football fields too...typically near the goal posts or sidelines. if people go there to play casually, and lay their stuff on the side.
