    A Very Rewarding Hunt





    Got out with my very good friend Cupajo the other day and had a banner day. He found a diamond engagement ring and I found what appears to be an Oriental chain and jade pendant, and a 14K signet ring.

    The mark was worn off the chain, but tested 22K. Two friends that have been in this a lot longer than I, feel it may be 24K. I will take it to a jewler to have it checked out at a later date.

    Thanks for looking...

    Wow Frank! Unbelievable finds
    Did the snow storm help to stir things up over your way?

    Actually Todd, it hurt us more than helped. However, we do a LOT of scouting and when we find a thin spot we really work it over.
