They may have gotten all of the silver but they didn't get all the GOLD update

Hunting today with my lifelong friend Kirk the competition is constant. He is new to mding and just learning his machine. Went to a park today where I've found Buffalo nickels, Indian pennys ,but never any silver. Going in I thought of that opening line and thought wouldn't that be cool. Dug everything except the lowest numbers aluminum there is a ton of gum wrappers here. After half an hour or so we meet up and Kirk said something like I still haven't found a quarter. As we were splitting up I hit that high tone about 2 inches deep hollered to kirk right here dig it . An hour later we came together again .I told him see that hill, right here is where they would have gotten off their sleds and headed back up the hill. This area should be good. Heres a hit now! As Kirk was coming over he got a signal 2 feet away then both machines went into overload. He walked away saying there is a dime there. This from a guy who is going to drive 15 miles to get a penny he had to leave. I stepped over ran the coil over and said that's not a dime. he says thats a dime!! I said no it's not its a bullet as I started to dig the plug . Flipped the sod and there was this gold circle just as Kirk came back. He stuttered what , that's not, is that,what the h__ I said yep i think that's a ring !!!!!!1974 Valley high wish they had the state on them . Etched inside is Richard Cool suppose that is really his name. How do you find the state ??? This is near a university so could be any state. Needless to say we concentrated on that area and 5 minutes later I had that high silver again only at 7 inches . Out comes the 42 quarter so i guess they left some . Later I found the pipe , took it to Kirk and said "I want there to peace between us " He said no way that's not going to make up for that!!! Enjoy. Bill Found out there are a lot of valley highs . Called my brother in law who is a school teacher with the problem .He said I'll give this to some seventh graders they will have an answer for you this afternoon. About an hour later he called with this. Richard Cool graduated from Bingham valley high in 1974 . He passed away 15 years ago or so This lady at this number graduated with him and she can give his relatives your info if you want. I called the number and now I'm waiting for a daughter to call me. I fairly certain this has to be his ring. How many Richard Cools could have graduated in 1974 from a valley high? I also stopped by the coin shop and was told melt value around 160.00

Re: They may have gotten all of the silver but they didn't get all the GOLD

Your bad, Kirk.......you know it's not your find until you dig it!! ;D

Bill, that ring sure looks small in your picture......Richard must have been a skinny little cat. Good luck with trying to find the owner. There must be a bazillion "Valley High" schools, but, there is probably only one "Richard Cool." That may be "Joe's" brother. ;D

Wow nice story . I have found so many rings but have yet to find a class ring in 8 yrs. And 420 devises well . I got a collection of those . 5 at last count . I think sliding hills and ski slopes have some great treasures. My first ever silver quarter 3 yrs into hobby came at an old sliding hill nice. ROB :coffee2:

I bets its worth more than that... I sold a 19g 14k ring for almost $400 that looks as big as the one I had...

NICE! I found a Silver Class ring back during the summer, June I believe it was. I actually found the owner of the Ring with the help of CountryDancer who lived down the road from the High School in Pennsylvania. Well I contacted the guy who know lives up near Richmond, VA about 2 hours from me. He proceeded to tell me (AFTER TOTAL DISBELIEF EXPRESSED) that he hadn't lived down here in 25 years!!! He was all excited and I was excited to give it back to him..... :-\ :-\ WELL,,,he was suppose to come and pick it up on July 4th while he was in town but it came and went without a word from him....... :icon_scratch: :icon_scratch: I've actually called and left two more messages since then just in case he lost my number and didn't know how to get back into contact with me but still have not received a call back from him?? :dontknow: :dontknow: Was trying to do the right thing but I guess the guy don't want it.....Come to think of it, I believe I'll call him again tomorrow...


GREAT FIND!!! :icon_thumleft: :wink:
