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!

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!!!

Ridley

Thanks Ridley!! Yeah, I made a comment in your post this morning about our matching bracelets, cool man!! Grats to you too!

Smiles!

Nice finds, Bdoo. Yeah, it's to the yard today for me, too. And I didn't even get to detect yesterday, either.

Thanks Mike... in honor of your screen name, heres the 5 pounds of trash I dug yesterday also, a few hundred more targets dug. The 6 inch rule is in there for scale, didn't find that.

Thanks again!

A good day! No wonder your muscles are aching!

I am back to normal today, worked in the yard and didn't want to risk really getting hurt... but it was difficult... I wanted to go out a few times today, it was so nice outside.

Thanks!!

Smiles!
