Howdy Folks!
I ventured into Mordachai territory for the first time in quite awhile, and hunted the area while keeping a close eye out for Mordachai. He never appeared, and I got away safely enough without incident. While there, however, I did something I seldom bother doing. I took my new V3i into pea gravel to hunt, and unlike the MXT, it ran quiet and stable in the gravel. It was there that I found a silver chain with small cross and a 14k gold ring. Both came out looking nasty from the gravel, and the ring was the deepest gold I've found yet at around 3 to 4 inches deep. When I got home my wife repeatedly subjected the gold ring and silver chain with cross to sonic jewelry cleaning and got them looking good for the photos. It took 4 cycles to get them this clean!
Anyhow; among finds on this hunt was a variety of kiddie type jewelry items, a coin from Costa Rica, a Canadian Nickel, a 1956 Wheat Penny, a crochet hook:huh:, something that looks like no carabiner I ever saw before with an open end that makes entirely no sense whatsoever, and 5 RTD tokens.
What is odd about the 14k gold ring is that it is nearly a duplicate of the one I found a couple of days ago. It is also a luck ring with a horseshoe made from stones (possibly diamonds) and with a horse head in the center. Both are badly bent in almost an identical fashion, except this one doesn't have a split in the metal as the other did. Still, what are the odds? Two almost identical rings found on two different hunts with almost the precise same damage in nearly the identical same place on the ring? Unique, ain't it?
My take for the day, not including foreign coins or tokens:
33 Quarters = $8.25
17 Nickels = $0.85
18 Dimes = $1.80
68 Pennies = $0.68
Total = $11.58
Coin Count = 136 Coins.
This was my longest hunt to date since surgery. I left the house around 10:30 am, and returned home after 7:30 pm!
Blessings,
