  1. Seven Diamond Anniversary Ring Emerged From a Lake 12 Years Ago

    Within a couple of days of discovering this forum, my trusty AT Gold helped my rescue this beautiful ring from a fresh water lake. Someone else's bad luck, or disillusionment with what the ring stood for, turned into good luck for me and my wife. I did search via the internet for an owner, but I...

  9. Dry Ground, Watering plugs.

    There has not been much rain in my area and it is limiting my options as to where I will dig because of the dry ground. I wouldn't even attempt to dig any groomed areas that are exposed to the sun, but some areas that are surrounded by shade aren't as bad. So this weekend I went to an old park...
