WOW!! What an Awesome Thanksgiving!?! I sure have a lot to be thankful for. Not only did I enjoy some great family time and counted lots of personal blessings, but I finally got to go MD at a new spot that I have wanted to go to for a long time but the opportunity never presented itself before. I hit the spot on the way to the in-laws because I had to drive separately from my wife and it was on the way. It is a long story why I had so much time on my hands to go MD, but I’m not going there. I got to the site late in the day and only had 1-½ hours to MD. I found $4+ in change and a couple of earrings. There was so much area and I knew I just scratched the surface. Day 2 was 4 hours and I came up with $9.98, 2 silver rings and 2 more silver earrings. I was really pumped now and I was only half done. Day 3 was 6 hours and $16.68, 2 more silver rings, 2 gold rings, 3 ¼ gold plated rings. (I assume the ¼ ring was hit by a lawn mower.) I still had a fourth of the area to cover. Day 4 was 4 hours and I came away with $6.80 in change and one more earring. What a fantastic time!! On the way home last night I was by myself again and there was another place I wanted to hit but I wasn’t exactly sure where it was. I only heard about it. I checked on my maps program and picked out two likely spots where it could be. The first spot was a dud and I am not sure I found what I was looking for at the second spot either, but it was dark by now and it looked like it might be a good spot to try. I parked the car and walked over to a volley ball court. The first target was the Emerald and diamond, gold ring at about 8”-10” deep. My mind was about to explode with excitement, because this area was bigger than the first site where I was so successful. Two hours of MD in the dark with only a hint of light from a street light in the parking lot and I came up with another 6 pennies. I am not complaining though, this ring is the best I have found so far. I’m thinking it might be a Christmas present to the wife. This is the kind of story only other people have to tell. 15-½ hours of MD and I came away with over $37 in change and 10 ¼ rings. The photo of the trash is only half of what I found. I did a LOT of digging. I think I doubled my ring finds for the last 1-½ years in just one week of “Thanksgiving”. This past week’s success gave me new confidence to do the research and give it a try. I hope all your Thanksgivings were as blessed as mine.
