Merry Christmas to Moon!

[Moonshadow]

Hey Gang.......
I had absolutely NO business going out today. I've got a nasty cold, it was about 45 degrees out and the winds were kickin about 20+ mph! Buuuuuutttttt......I went anyway!

Went directly to a school I hunted recently. Didn't find too much there the first time. But needed a fix, so off I went. Started right off around the playground equipment. Hit a nickel signal and figured I'd find a nickel. NOPE! To my surprise, a nice little man's 10k gold ring with two small diamonds! WOOHOO! Then a little clad, then a nickel signal again. It was really close to the metal swing support, so I figured it was a false reading. NOPE!! A nice man's 14K Gold ring with 9 diamonds! Yay ME!! I did the happy dance for sure. My son was with me on this trip (sheer boredom on his part), so he was able to snap a couple of pics and caught the second ring on film. A very good day in my book, and a first as far as finding two gold rings in one day, especially on a playground. Wow, I'm still fired up!

Happy Hunting to all and thanks for reading my post!

Wow Moon! DOUBLE GOLD! I have to slave my butt off in the surf and swim with sharks to make that happen which it rarely does! That is unreal!

I am coming up to Augusta for the Christmas holidays. I will have to hit some playgrounds in that area. I usually hit the woods looking for CW relics during that week though and probably will leave the playgrounds for you pros. I never find anything at them.

Great stuff for you!

Merry Christmas!!!

That's a good one.....I'll have to use it!

Thanks everybody. It was a great day. Glad I was able to get out. I've been searching tot lots for about five years now. I don't usually find much of anything. They are so hunted to death here. But this one is outta ways and I think it's all mine . I'll definitely been hitting it often. I'm still in shock!

HH,
Moon

WTG Moon ! I was wondering if you have thought of searching the area's were they dump the old woodchips ? I noticed at a park I was searching this year that there was a steep bank close to the playground were they had been dumping the old woodchips.

Hey Gang.......

In the north east, "nasty cold" is not 45 degrees that's called "spring" Join me on the beach in February and I'll show you what "nasty cold" is

Nice digs! Nice "obsession" (some call it a hobby) isn't it?

Hey Joe, I didn't say the weather was nasty cold, I said "I" had a nasty cold! :P
Anyhoo.......45 degrees and gusty blowing wind is cold for the south! We get our share of freezing temps too. Glad I don't live in the frozen tundra like alot of you guys do! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Thanks everyone for your replies, and don't get cabin fever too bad this winter!
