    Went detecting and Mr T showed up with a winged goddess

    Went detecting today at a park I've been going to for more than 30 years. Found a bunch of wheaties before Mr T showed up with a winged goddess. Glad he was in silver. He's lost some weight as he is "down" to 14 grams. Actually pretty heavy for a silver ring.

    I love that Mr. T ring! I pity the fool that lost it!

    Seriously, that is a cool find. And it's silver too!

    I met Mr. T at a comic book convention in 1993. He is really short!
