Time with my son & GOLD strikes TWICE!!!
Had a great Sunday today. My son wanted to go mountain bike riding at his old middle school, and I knew there were plenty of areas to detect there. On the way, we stopped by this old farm house that I've always wanted to detect at. The old lady had an "antiques for sale" sign out front by an ancient tractor. We stopped to see what she had, and I thought it would be the perfect time to ask permission to MD on her land. After knocking on both the front and back doors of her house, and waiting about 5 minutes, she finally came out. In a low cleavage 1-piece bathing suit no less!!!
Now if you've ever seen a 75+ year old lady in a bathing suit, it is NOT a pretty sight! 
She scarred my son and I for life. I know I will not sleep well tonight. My son whispered something to me about "looks like to eggs in a pan" , and I about died. 
Anyways, everything she had she wanted an arm and a leg for. I bought two old hubcap's from her , a Mustang & a MERC. I asked about MDing, but she wasn't too hip on the idea. She let me dig one hole by one of the old houses, and hovered over me like a hawk. I didn't want to look up, because I didn't want to see that saggy site in my face. To hole turned up a friggin' plow piece. She then told me I "smelled good". At that point I knew it was time to go. I told my son to get in the car and save himself.
Well, I can mark that spot off my list.
We then proceded to the middle school. I haven't hit a playground in some time now, but have been seeing a lot of you coming up with some great finds there.
My son took of bike riding, and I took out my trusty Tesoro. There are acres upon acres of areas to search at this school, and I think it is untouched.
In a matter of minutes, I was finding clad. I hit the bark areas by the play sets (love the bottom of those slides), a small sandy soccer area, and last but not least, a sandy old volleyball area. While in the volleyball area, I found a 10KP GOLD & 7-Diamond ring!!! Big & gaudy sucker too (size 9). I couldn't believe my eyes.
I'm hoping this is the real McCoy, but I have no idea?
What does 10 KP C1 mean? Is it real gold?
I placed it in my pocket, and moved on. Within 5 minutes, the very next row in the sand, I found another ring!!! This one is a 14K WHITE GOLD wedding band (size 7 1/2).
By this time my son was back from riding, and we did a few high 5's. Also, his "Very nice" impression of Borat. I told him he was my good luck.
This is my 3rd gold ring so far, two with diamonds.
Other finds were:
*A bunch of clad, including 4 quarters in one small hole.
*Some toy jewelry including a Jesus pendant.
*A Chinese (?) coin. Anyone know what this is? Probably an egg roll token?
Anyways, it was a great Sunday. Or should I say SONday?
Sorry for the long-winded post, but I'm still excited about the rings.
Ridley- Get your butt out there with the DFX, and work your magic.
Romeo- As you can see, the Tesoro I bought from you is working great. Thanks again.
Have a great week everyone,
MM
