School Finds 9-30-2010

[goldhungry]

The wife and I had some time this evening after dinner so we decided to grab the MD's and head over to a local schoolyard. Upon getting there it was apprent there was some type of an activity going on there so we decided to move on to a different school. As we got there and grabbed our detectors the sun was already going down so we knew our swinging time was limited. My wife had barely started out into the lot when she got a target. She found the Mickey Mouse pen top at about six inches. I continued out into the playground area heading for the wood chip area as that always gives up some coins. Well my first target turned out to be a beer cap (where are the teachers when these first graders are drinking on recess). After i swung for awhile longer I found the other little piece of junk in the picture. We were about ready to give up as it was dark now when I got another target. I dug about six inches and still couldn't find it when I decided to go to the car and get my pinpointer, not so much for the pinpointing but I needed some light. As soon as I lit up the hole there it was, a really nice looking ring. Well it was dark and dirty so we headed towards the car and low and behold another target. Turned out to be a quarter. Once we got to the car I cleaned up the ring only to find out it is just costume jewelry. Oh well we got out, stayed off the couch, and had fun. Happy Hunting!!

Still a cool looking ring... And anytime out swinging is a good time.

That is the way I started. Found a junk ring first. I like the blue/gold look to it. Happy hunting!
