My first gold and some silver too!

[tanacat]

Went to a friend's to help her find a gold earring and instead found her mother's gold class ring.

Her mom has been gone many years now, so it is extra special to her. From 1936 and engraved with her mom's initials inside. She was shocked by the find and of course she gets to keep it!


And then I found a Franklin half (square nail didn't quite pierce it & lots of nicks, not from me!) and 2 rosies in her front yard!
It was a good day :happydance01:

Very cool Tanacat!
I bet that ring will be very special to your friend.
You had a nice silver reward!

[z118]

Wow, that is one sweet ring. Great find, and congrats on the silver!

[jkress]

That's an awesome hunt tanacat!! <:

What a nice surprise to pull that class ring out. Did she even know her mom's ring was lost there?

I can only imagine the delight you gave to your friend after recovering it. Good for you.

Oh yeah... :happydance01: :peace: :clapping: on the silver!! Love the half!

A super day all around.

[Epi-hunter]

Wow, Tana!!! :shocked04:

There is nothing better than that! There really is no better feeling than that. Congratulations!!!

And you had a great silver day besides! :happydance01:

[dave in iowa]

wow , very cool to retrieve that for her .

[tanacat]

No, she had no idea her mom had lost it! Her mom had lived with her for 10 yrs before she passed away...

The funny thing is that Susan was out in the yard with me, urging me to hunt. C'mon, c'mon show me how it works Tana! I swung and got signal on that ring immediately. We were both quite stunned :shocked01: I said Cardome 1936 and she was like omg that is my mom's...

[Jason in Enid]

That was an awesome hunt all the way around!

For some who don't believe in a bit of Karma or ESP or help from the other side, let's just say that is some coincidence :shocked04: :shocked04: I think it was meant to be found and you did it :clapping: What a great day hunting. I bet this hunt will stay with you for a long time. :happydance01:

[catskillcomics]

Great Job Tana! :beerbuddy: Like George says, that hunt will be with you for a while... and I'm sure it will be with your friend for even longer...
Think of all the good Karma you'll be getting soon from this...

[milco]

[Ill Digger]

:shocked04: Dang girl !! Another one !?!? Another silver half !?! :shocked04:stretcher: Saaweeet !! :happydance01:

Oooh good idea Baba! I'll add in that she was eager to see how my new V3i worked... :cheesysmile:

Well, feast and famine... I hunted for 4 hours today at a Mason lodge (built in 1963) and all I found was clad, clad, clad! And a couple old keys.

[angellionel]

Excellent, Tana! That would make a very nice story for White's. And you scored some sweet silver too... nice!
