This is why you dig everything!

Went to a local swimming hole at dawn this morning for a couple of hours. It has a nice sand beach and a little patch of grass and the whole spot can be hunted in two mornings. Have only found 1 silver ring in the 4 years that I have gone there. Well today I scored. I am really hoping to find the owner but the only chance I have is a flyer at the lifeguard station.
I was hunting the patch of grass and had picked up some random change and some pulls. Got a "crusty penny" signal that turned out to be a chunk of can slag. Checked the hole like you are supposed to and got a similar signal and a smaller chunk of can slag. Check again and another signal... this time out comes the monster.
ALWAYS DIG EVERYTHING!!! It's good to be reminded of that every now and then.
Happy hunting!

Good luck in returning it. But whatever you say on that flyer, do not show a picture or describe it. Let the owner do that, then you know its going to the right person.
