Went out to a park I haven't been to since last November. It is next to a school site that the school was demo'd and they are building a new school there. Our club had some club hunts at the school demo site last year.
Got to the park and it was about 50 degrees but when the sun came up it started getting nice.

Started on the totlot which was pretty clean for some unknown reason :( :( Guess someone with a MXT Pro got there 1st. :( :(

I did manage to get 1 lone item from the woodchips.

Too bad it's just a cheapy plated ring. Rang in like a penny and is too light to be silver. The stone isn't a real diamond--my Mizar tester said it's fake. After that I searched in the grass and searched some of the soccer field area and found 3 wheats and a tag with the owners name and age.... :dontknow: I guess that's what the tag is------:huh:thinkingabout:

It was a good day with 3 older coins found and a ring--even though it is a junque one.

50* :drool: :drool: :drool: I'd take 40 right about now. Too bad the ring is not real. They should be illegal lol But 3 wheats sounds like the park is old enough for silver. Congrats on getting out today thumbsup01

Howdy Robbie!
Hey... that's the park I hunted while passing through your territory! I got me a gold ring out of them tot lots. 10k gold, as I recall!
Guess I might be the guy with the MXT Pro who got the goodies that day!

Sorry about that, but not terribly apologetic about finding gold!
Wanna see it again? I still got the picture! LOL!
And we are supposed to be in the 60s tomorrow too!

Blessings,

Nice ring Robbie- too bad about the diamond. Where'd you get your mizar tester? I found some gold w/possible diamond too. My detector/coin dealer friend is going to test it for me at our next local club meeting, but would like to get my own. blah blah blah I'm gonna post it on my own thread so as to not hijack yours lol
