OK. So, I see the weather today is probably going to be a last day of decent weather
for quite some time. Yes, even here, ole man winter does have to come a callin'.
So, where should I try to make a "last" stand? I've covered all the types of hunts I do except the
beach and I'm not going to do that until it's much warmer.
I thought and then said, why not start over?
So, chose a school ground that I and MANY others have frequented many, many times. What
better place to see if what I'm doing is really working. I figured to have a clad day with the
possibility of some bling thrown in, but, how would you feel if your day started this way?
See where the Propointer is? That is someone else's hole.
It wasn't put back bad, I just uncovered it when I started digging.
My plug is in the foreground. Can you see what's in it?
All clad, but.....I mean!!! LOLOL I also found another penny
deeper in the original hole too. Someone felt it was beneath them
to dig the lowly penny!?!? Well, just remember that for a bit.
Anyway, the next hole I didn't bother to catch in situ cuz it was just bling.
But, I took about three steps and got the following:
As you'll see later, it is the mate to the first one!
Not a usual happenstance.
Anyway, A little later on I got this semi-penny hit and was about to skip over.
Then, I remembered the other "penny" hole.
I dug:
Next I found this wonderful lil toy metal airplane.
When it first came out, the wing was missing. But,
I was very happy at even having half! Still, I started
to push the pinpointer back in the hole and I was saying to
myself. Please? Please? Please?
And there it was!! The other wing! I can now repair it!
I don't know how old but it was my favorite find of the day!
At least, it was.....until this next lil thing unfolded:
Ain't life GRAND!!!?!? LOL
What a day!!!
The necklace is silver.
There's those two earrings.
Fishy's ecstatic!
Oh yeah, there were a few clad coins along the way.
*********** The "star" of the show!**********
Alas, poor Blingie!
For you see, the ring? It's real!
22kt gold, with 25 diamonds. Possibly a very old piece.
Not too bad for a four hour hunt, even if I do say so myself.
If you made it this far, thanks for being patient with a VERY happy WIF!

you sure packed a lot of fun in a 4 hour hunt. Awesome score on the gold & silver. I dug one of those Goonie Birds last April.
