Well I still don't have my laptop back yet and this computer is so very slow but I am just dying to show you gng's my recent finds so I am going to give it a try anyway. So what if it takes forever to get the pictures up here!
First up... I found this pretty little ring in my daughter's back yard. A lot of the stones are missing. The stones go all the way around alternating between white and green. No markings at all so I'm guessing a cheap little ring and it is small. Won't even fit my little finger. My daughter says it isn't hers and I can keep it for my "finds" box.
Christmas morning I went out and found this ring. It is not silver nor any precious metal (no markings) but still it is pretty.
Then the next day I went out and found this pretty little ballerina. She is silver looking and has diamonds on her skirt in front and one in her crown but alas... she is not "real" stuff either. She was found right under the swings at a playground. Again... she is pretty.
This morning I went to yet another park and found this stuff. There I also ran into more of that buried metal stuff. It is very smooth to touch. No jagged edges even tho it looks like there are. It was all around the playground in the woodchips and it was definitely buried. I would guess 98% is buried and maybe 2% you can actually see on the ground.
I am thinking that the parks department is mixing this metal stuff in with the woodchips and then spreading it around the playground. This is the 4th park I've found this stuff in. When the coil goes over it it sounds just like a quarter.
Last but not least is this weird charm. It is BIG, ugly and it's silver! The eyes "look" like diamonds but I am pretty sure they are not. When you move the tongue back and forth the eyes move back and forth too. I didn't think it was silver at first until I washed it off and in the back of the face it is stamped 925. ALL RIGHT! Ugly or not... I will take it! I looked all around for the chain that much have held it but did not find it.
This morning was a good morning and I'll take it!
Now if I can just get my laptop back and get back online with it!
