Took a day off work to get ready for my annual Golf outing to practice. figuring practice would not help I decided to go detecting instead. I found an old Silver ring that actually looks like my initials "DL", unfortunately it is a tad small for me. Had a good hunt as I ended up with 2 Mercs, 2 Rosies and 4 wheats as well as the ring. Also found about $5 in clad. Glad I didn't waste my time getting ready for golf tomorrow. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger

With the combination of some minor back trouble and getting in to MDing ten years ago, I have pretty much given up golf. So in my book, a bad day detecting is much better than a bad day of golf, of course both are better than work! Nice finds!
