- AVATAR: MY Wife Saying....
"Your going Metal Detecting
- Primary Interest:
- All Treasure Hunting
This all started on Saturday to go detecting on Sunday.
I meet my buddy, JIM who I have known for 12-13 years and I got him interested in metal detecting last year, at his house. When I get there he has second thoughts about going. He said he was going to call me to tell me that. I told him your going cause we planned it Sat.
So off we went...Hit some tear downs, got some change but nothing to write home about...
I told him that I had to be going soon since my Son was in from College for the night...
We were heading home when I spotted a tear down and said,Hey lets do it for a 1/2 hour then go...
We get out there and about 15 minutes went by and I found a 1937 Quarter.
A little frustration came to light from him by him saying. " Every time we go out your always finding silver, I haven't found any this year".
Then he started hunting next to me. I said this my area go over there. ( A FRIENDLY WAY ) So he moved away.
2 or 3 minutes later he's yelling "I beat your silver quarter I beat it I beat it".
Ya right!!!
I got GOLD!!!!! It turned out to be a 10K Purdue 1987 Class Ring...with 2 diamonds.
Smile's and HIGH FIVES and CONGRATS took place..
We then left the area to go home.
Congrats all the way home....
Jim and I were some HAPPY Metal Detecting Dudes....
Now to the next day....
The school helped a lot in finding the Owner for Jim.
Tues. He called me and asked me if I wanted to go with him to give it back to the Owner on Wed. morning.
Here is the pictures of the ring and the Owner.
The Ring was lost 8 years ago by the Owners ,then 6 year old daughter.
