Went to Waco to visit my daughter, and grandkids. Took time to hit a couple of local parks, and come up with some clad, and the best find of the day a Gold Ring with a small diamond set in it. Also found a toe ring at one site. Had a great time looking.

glad to see another central texas t-netter on here! Nice job on the finds! Beautiful ring by the way.
 
Congrats on the great ring!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That's a nice pile 'o' clad there, and you're ready for Halloween now. ;D

Aren't grandkids the greatest invention ever? :wink:
 
Yes it did make my day. I'll never forget what that gold looked like when it rolled out of that hole.
 
Nice ring, congrats on the gold! HH, Mike
 
Dang Old River, I went right through Waco on my way to Austin to see my daughter and grandkids. Why didn't you wave when I drove by? :wink: I hunted the park at Pflugerville an Austin suburb. It seemed to be picked clean as I came away with a grand total of 36 cents in clad! Sure was some nice weather down there as I was use to about 20 degrees cooler up here. Had to watch out for the fire ants though. I've thought about moving south but it is such a hassle trying to decide what to do with 35 years of accumulated junque where I live now! Nice ring, wish I had been as lucky. Monty
 
Hey I did wave. You didn't see me. When I found that ring I was waving all over the place. LOL> Hope you enjoyed the trip to Austin. When you hit the parks, be sure to hit the volly ball courts. Especially along the side lines. Search the entire area there. Good for rings. Most of the change will be out to the side where the spectators sit in the grass. Good luck next time. Are you going to the treasure show in Longview. I'll be there on the 21st of March.
 
No, won't make it to Longview, I only head down that way when I go to see my daughter. My sister lives in Dallas and I usually stop off to see her for a couple of hours one way or the other. I live just outside of Tulsa and it's about an 8 hour drive to my daughter's house, so that kills a day both ways. Where are you located? Monty
 
Monty I live just a little east of Houston Tx., and a little north of Baytown Tx. Hope this weather isn't hitting you to hard. From the looks of the weather station it pretty rough. Wish you could have made the show.

Nice gold!!!
Me likey!!!
 
The bad weather missed us completely except for a little thunderstorm. Almost got my son's house in nw Oklahoma City, about 1/2 mile away! But he is OK. We had some drenching rain but really needed it. Now the ground won't be so hard to dig! I thought everything east of Houston was in the Gulf of Mexico! :D I've been over there a few times and vacationed once at Galveston Island. Do you hunt any of the beaches around Houston? Monty

That little star thingy is a decoration off of a purse, wallet, or maybe even a belt. You'll see a lot of decorative pieces like that used on such items here in Texas. Great job Dad!

Father-daughter MD team. I love it! I have a 15 year old daughter that loves to hunt with me. She doesn't have her own detector but maybe one day if her interest level stays up. Do you all get to hunt together much?
 
Dad has the detectors. I like to go with him when I have the opportunity. Not afraid to get into the brush & briars. If I lived closer, I'd go all the time! I just wish I knew of more places around this area for him to be able to check out when he comes to visit.
 
Monty I'm proud that you, and your son faired the storm. No I don't do an beach hunting. I would like to, but I have plenty sites close to home. I made some interesting finds today. As soon as I can I will post them. Maybe I'll get a chance to hit a beach sometime. HH
 
I'm proud you still have your ring. Now I know its not yours I found.
