Hit up some local schoolyards, which as you know, are my "Happy Places." They did not disappoint. While hitting a schoolyard soccer field, I spot a shiny object just as I was swinging my coil over it. Looked down to see a highly polished 1941 Mercury dime lying on the surface!?!?!?!? 
It was so clean that I did not have to do anything to it when I brought it home, just enjoy it. I speculate that some kid brought his/her "lucky" coin to show off, and you know the rest...
I then hunted in the grass along the outside edge of the playground, and found this big (size of a US silver dollar) 1980 Golden Gate Casino (Las Vegas) one-dollar gaming token. I love digging tokens and this is my second BIG one in a month. This big guy rang up ONLY a 75 VDI, but was really deep at 8" down. (Deep for a newer school yard.)
I then scored a really pretty sterling silver birthstone (?) ring, marked .925 MO, with a very pale blue stone in the center, and eight chocolate colored stones around it. It was a nice 78 VDI on the ATPro at about six inches down. An unusual design that I have not found before.
A fun weekend, albeit crazy weather. Hot and foggy, then suddenly cold and drizzly, good grief. Good thing Julio is "all weather!" Thanks for peeking and Happy Hunting to all my friends on TNet!
