Thanks, Loco... I paid more attention, this time to how I felt pulling it up. Same thing.. Just kind of a muted response. No mind-blowing excitement... Actually some of it was just RELIEF. I was afraid my streak of finding gold every month was coming to an end! LOL
That being said, I've been looking at it all afternoon, Golem style. I totally dig the experience (pun intended), but it's like me and roller coasters, I enjoy them, but I don't get off the ride yelling like a madman.
OH! (epiphany). I just realized I've NEVER done that with any of my gold finds. Even my first one was pretty solemn. I totally had a grin on my face all day (just like I do now...). The closest I got was taking the 81 diamond ring into the box store to have it checked for real diamonds. My son and I were feeding off each other on that one, with some whoops as we left the store!
But the finds? I think it has something to do with the fact that it was BEAT INTO MY HEAD by reading all the forums that the safest thing you can do when you find a great find is to ACT NORMAL. It's more habitual now, than anything!
I can pull a gold ring, and the most you'll see me do, is take a peak around. If nobody is watching, I'll take a picture, otherwise, it goes into the pouch, and I continue on...
Ahh.. but INSIDE... inside, I'm beaming.
