Got up about 7:30am yesterday and decided I was gonna try out the local tot lot by the Frank Buck Zoo here in Gainesville. It sits in a small size park area next to the zoo. I think the zoo was moved here from across the hwy in the 60's, but the tot lot was just put in about a decade ago from what some of the locals told me. Anyway, I was tired of diggin' by the old school and not finding much so I figured I'd try this place out and see what I could find here.

I hunted around this lot for 4hrs and had the place to myself the whole time. Ended up with about $.70 cents in clad, one Frank Buck penny made souvenier, and this ring that I found about an 1 1/2 into my search. Looks like birthstones in the setting cuz they have a pink hue to them when you look at it. I don't know much about jewelry, but I had a blast yesterday.

I also got to recognize the very distinct sound of those hershey's kiss foil wrappers........There was a TON of 'em

I'll be going back again to search the park outside the tot lot area next week....

Thanks for lookin' HH

Nice ring. I never get rings at tot lots. I have posted in a hurry before and forgot to post pic's and just thought you may have done the same.
 
Nice looking ring.....Matt
 
Looks like you been doing some serious digging, nice looking ring, Congrats! :thumbsup:

Good luck,
HH.
 
Don't think shes gold, but close anyhow.
Tis a matter of time before you nail your 1st - And if you only found 70 cents in 4 hours, I'd say that lot is being pounded on a regular basis by others.
 
Looks plated to me, if no hallmark then 4 sure it is.
