An abbreviated sleep after night shift. Good weather so out I went with the Pro and Seahunter Mk11. Playing fields were the order of the day and I hit two having a near quota experience. Got too hot so I jumped ship and went aquatic with the multitude of rugrats and ducks.
Waist high I found it. Not a relic and not one that belonged to the B. Cody...but a nifty Mastercraft 19mm dewy that had Cody, B engraved on it. Scared the hell out of me as I thought I might have something loose upstairs! I am allergic to tools and especially power tools.

This was followed by what I thought was a small gold ring.....not to be but a junker. Such is life.Scooped up a few coins that made up the quota and called it a day heading home to get ready for another night shift with the criminal element.

Nice assortment of finds, congrats! I know the feeling of thinking it's a nice ring and then turns out it's not!
I love finding tools I can actually use! Maybe I'm just weird?
The rings are out there we need to just get the coil over them!

Rings even when they don't turn out gold, are exciting

a really nice socket or two from a biker set, needle nose pliers, screwdrivers, hammer head...they all go in with the tools I already have. bummer on the ring and yet it is still a ring find and still cool. nice on the rest as well. be safe, been there, done that. the MD helps to relax the nerves, HH & GL
