Today I went back to the "virgin" park I posted about a couple weeks ago that produced almost $15 in clad... I had left there just hitting the tot lots, and still have not hit the soccer field yet.. I hadnt but slightly touched one of the two volley ball courts, so I hit them first... Man, the jewelry was thick!
After 2 hours, my back was aching, so I called it a day.. Ended up with $4.73 in clad and the jewelry.. The one partial bracelet I found looked to be gold plated, with small diamonds in it, and is stamped .925, so it must have been gold plated silver. The ankle bracelet also is marked 925 and isnt broken. I have no idea how they lost it... My wife was happy to get that one, it is really cute and "delicate" looking... Fits her perfectly.
The religious medallion might be gold plated, but it is not marked.. The other stuff, including a HUGE fake diamond, is just costume jewelry, but hey, jewelry is jewelry, right??
It was beautiful out there today, no wind, bright blue sky, and about 65 degrees... Going back tomorrow to hit those soccer fields..

Thanks.... I may be wrong, but I am thinking that if there is that much in the VB lots, what is awaiting me out in the soccer fields?? The soccer field closer to my home is where I found the gold coin medallion, the watch, and the 24" sterling chain... I hope this field is as good to me...

Re: Back to the virgin park....

Went back to the park yesterday to try the soccer fields... The groundskeepers should be spanked! Are they so lazy as to not want to get off their butts and pick up a few pop cans? They apparently just run them over with the lawn machines.. I made two passes in the center of the first field, and it took me almost 3 hrs to do that. Finally had to disc out the foil range after I had filled up my apron with shards of aluminum cans. Ended up hitting the basketball courts and one tot lot with a total of $3.89 in clad, a gold thing (not real) that I cannot figure out what it was for, and a fake diamond earring... I will hit it again sometime, as their has to be some good stuff there too, just disappointed since the soccer fields I hunted near home had little trash in them, and lots of good finds...
Pick of the end pile from this trip...

Here is a pic of the two pieces I found yesterday.... I hoped the earring was white gold with diamonds, but no marks on it... Pretty sure it is costume stuff.. But hey, jewelry is jewelry, right?
