Hello to everyone. I hope you all are getting out and pulling in some nice treasures in the improved spring weather!

It was the nicest day of the year so far here in Michigan yesterday so I started early and hit a couple schoolyards 20 miles away. One was really good, the other not so but in the end, it was a fantastic day out there, filled with a lot of digging and tons of good finds.

In the 5 hours hunting time, my clad count was pretty high. $12.90 with 168 coins, lots of quarters which is always nice. I managed a nice assortment of trinket jewelry and another elongated penny, my 4th in the past few trips out.

Best of all, some nice keepers.
My first was a 925 chain bracelet, pretty nice. Then a little silver heart pendant.
Then a sweet 10kt gold cross that has a faceted garnet stone in it.
Finally and best of all, a huge 416 (10kt) white gold ring with a nice garnet also.
Garnet is my birthstone so these finds are pretty cool and the ring also fits my pinky.

I am a bit sore today so I may take the day off and work out in the yard instead. My back is aching a little from all the bending over as my MD'ing muscles are still not "in season".

Thanks for reading and HH to you all. Here's some photos of yesterday's finds.

Smiles!

Re: A gold and garnet kind of day

Congratulations on some sweet finds. I know how you are feeling, my legs are soooore from hunting yesterday...
 

Re: A gold and garnet kind of day

Sweet finds, BD. Hope your back gets to feeling better. I'm recovering from a herniated disc, so my detecting is in short outings right now.

Love the ring and cross.

Re: A gold and garnet kind of day

Wow ! 5 hours of hunting , you will get built up fast that way , we went for a couple hours building up slow lol, you got some nice finds there, congrats
 

Re: A gold and garnet kind of day

Nice JEWELS and a big heap of clad. ;D ;D That is a sweet ring. Kinda like the ones I never find. ;)

I was out in the morning yesterday detecting. Soooo nice. Got some keepers. Only trouble now is all the yardwork that is starting. :P Also, have to get my boat ready. I'm looking forward to doing some perch fishing soon.

Yeah, rest those detecting muscles but soak up some more sun today. :)

WTG, BDoo
5 Hrs of digging will make your legs and back tired.
 

Re: A gold and garnet kind of day

Nice pile of treasure, Bdoo!

It's so strange. I found the exact same kind of bracelet yesterday. Love the gold-garnet ring and pendant!

Yes. The yard work is almost like a break from detecting. It's a different set of muscles I guess.

Congratulations!!!

Bummer Neal... hope you get all healed up soon. I have one area of my back that has been bothering me for a few weeks now, so I thought it was better to rest it today as not to get laid up for an extended time with a real injury. Take care and thank you for the read and comment.

Smiles!

Hiya weas...

4 or 5 hours is about all I can do without getting too sore as I work at a pretty fast speed with the old trusty Garrett TR machine in the woodchips. Thanks for the friendly comment!

Smiles!

Re: A gold and garnet kind of day

Very nice finds Bdoo and congrats on the gold and silver! I just came back from an American school, less than two dollars and it has been in the ground for awhile. They have those stupid rubber mats around the playground equipment, LOL! HH, Mike
