    1st Gold ring of the year

    Got in a couple more hunts this week and finally got a Gold ring today. I went back to the Park where they made the swimming pool sand dumps and had a very good day. Along with the Gold ring I found a nice silver ring, a Washington Quarter, 1 Merc and 3 Rosies. Yesterday I picked up 3 Mercs, a Rosie, 1 War Nickel, a Buffalo and 2 wheats. Looks like we will have good weather all week so hopefully I'll get out a few more times. Wisconsin Digger

    Not sure these photos turned out to well. In adding the ring to my jewelry container I saw the bracelet I found several years back. The Bracelet was 10K and had 6 gold rings on it (10K-14k). Tried for a year to locate an owner but got no cooperation from the Park or City I found it in. Best jewelry find for sure. Wisconsin Digger

    Solid finds and a great place you've found there! Wow, a gold bracelet with 6 gold rings - now that's insanity!
