Yesterday , a friend stopped by and asked if i wanted to go metal detecting with him. Of course my response was "Yeah...let's go!" I showed him some of my finds and he said he found a bayonette like mine on the surface when he was a child and he still had it. He said he found it in the woods behind the house where he grew up. I said ,,,,let's try hunting there. So off we went. As we pulled up , the man that lives there now told us that his wife had lost a diamond earring in the yard a month ago and if we could find it , he would give us $200 . The earrings were made from diamonds that came from her engagement ring , so it has a lot of sentimental value to them. They found the clip that holds the earring on in the carport on the concrete floor and know that his wife ran a few laps down a running path nearby ( they have a fitness center/gym on the property). We searched for about 2 hrs and did not find it. He has mowed the area once or twice since it was lost so it's possible the mower sucked it up and spit it out...who knows?
If anyone in the southeast part of NC (near Mt Olive) wants to help me find it, PM me. They also told us that a family member was a high ranking officer during WW1 and brought home a lot of WW1 artifacts that, as legend has it , were buried in a nearby homeplace. The man died and his wife was scared of the artifacts (possible ordinance?). some family members took some of it and buried the rest.

What may also be a good suggestion to you is that if you find the earring perhaps in lieu of the reward you may be able to search the other grounds for the WWI relics. Just a thought
