Ring, Ring..It's gold calling

I was hunting in late March in a park that I had not yet hunted due to the proximity in a section of town, with lots of police activity in the area.
I went early to try and miss anyone else in the park.I drove in the lot and nobody else was there.
Excellent!!!!!

I was picking up some clad in the tot lot, and dropping it into my coin pouch,and after about 20 minutes, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a glint of something shiny on top of the woodchips. As I went over to it, I saw it was a gold ring...into my pants pocket it went.
After another few minutes of detecting some more...Picking up a couple of pennies , I again noticed another shiny glint on the woodchips..........It was another gold ring....... I picked it up and it went into another pants pocket.

A few more minutes of searching in the chips, I then noticed a very colorful painted car with very large custom chrome looking wheels enter the park parking lot. Not wanting to get in a tussle for wearing my pants belted above my hips..or being in the wrong place at the wrong time...... I quietly left and went to another nicer area park to see what I actually had picked up.

I had scored a 14K GE nugget ring and a 18K GE ring. The GE after the karat means the gold is elecroplated. I had the stone tested in the smaller ring and it is only a CZ.
But I think they are a nice addition to my ring collection.

I hunted this park only once..only for about 45 minutes or a bit more, in late March......and I would only go again with at least 2 other hunters.......to kind of watch each others backs..... :o :o

Re: Ring, Ring..It's gold calling

That stinks that the one on the right is GE. It is a Gypsy set ring and I have solid 18k gold one with saphires from around the world in it and if they are solid they are not cheap. I still love it and that nugget one's not too shabby either!
 

Re: Ring, Ring..It's gold calling

Those are some great finds!!!! Nice Haul!

Hello Dimeman!
I'd say "You are both lucky (for trying) and smart (for leaving)!"
Great story!

Re: Ring, Ring..It's gold calling

I think the guy in the colorful car with the custom wheels was the owner of those rings. ;D
 

Re: Ring, Ring..It's gold calling

he probably took the rings off so he could show his homies how a real gangsta' swings on the jungle gym.... naw what i'm sayin?!
