Elated! More gold and silver, too!

[digger27]

A crummy, rainy morning at my local Jr. college right in my neighborhood and I go here when I want to dig but not travel too far.
A 48-49 signal on my F2 and sniper, I should have realized this would be different than the normal can slaw signal because the numbers only jumped one and not two which is more normal.

Not only was this much better than can slaw but on the way back to the car I swung over an 82 which is a quarter signal on the F2 but that was no quarter...it was silver instead!
A nice religious medal marked sterling and at 5.7 grams the heaviest one I have come across so far.
The ring is a hefty 15.9 grams, my 4th class ring since I got into this hobby, and my 9th gold find for this year.
I set a goal of 12 gold targets for this year, crazy I know, but this is month number 9 and I just might hit that goal yet.

I also broke my Lesche digger because I abuse it so badly and pry up targets that are too heavy or stuck in ground that is too hard but I am sure the company will take care of it because it is only about a year old.

On this hunt the bad thing was bad, but the good things made up for it and I still ended up being very happy!

Congrats on the nice digs. Sorry to hear about your Lesche, I thought those things were indestructable. I've used my own Lesche enough in four years that its teeth are nearly worn smooth and now it can no longer cut through roots. I still love it. Good luck in getting yours replaced.

Not indestructible, this is the second one I broke, but it was my fault both times.
I abuse these and ask a little too much of them sometimes, but it is still the only one I want to use.
Other kinds, (except maybe a Predator), won't last me at all because I pry things up too much when I should be digging, instead.

Good god that lesche pic made me cringe

 

[digger27]

The Lesche didn't snap, it just slowly bent and I didn't notice.
I noticed when it finally broke in two, though.
Good thing I had a spare digger with me, as bad as it was, or I never would have stayed to find these two great targets.

Looks like both ring and silver are Thomas Aquinas - wonder if they belonged to the same person? Are you going to try to track them down? Was there a name in the ring?

WOW! I've never seen a broken Lesche !

That was the name of the high school that used this field for football games back in the day.
This is a forgotten field nobody uses anymore and I don't think anyone else hunts it so there might be much more at this site.

My first returned class ring was a very frustrating experience, on the next two I tried to contact by calling the owners and put my name and e-mail on some lost ring sites but was ignored.
This one, I don't know...maybe.
Lots of returns go great, others not so much.
I am not sure I want to go through all that again but I will think on it and decide.
