Was able to get out between rain storms... did not disappoint!!

Went to a park I had not had much success with last year. Upon getting out of the car, I dug a 92 signal on the AT Pro. It was a stacked Susan B Anthony and a George Washington Dollar. Unfortunately my joy was destroyed by the sight of 24 or so very poorly dug holes by some wannabe detectorists. I spent the next 2 hours refilling them the best I could and watering the grass. While doing so, I decided to check the holes. I went one way and my 4 year old son went the other direction with my pin pointer... unbeknownst by me. I was finding trash and small coinage at the bottom of the holes. I also spotted a nifty water bottle by a tree!

I heard my son yell saying he found a signal with the "carrot". I helped him. It was a quarter. I continued on and 20 minutes later, I heard him yell about a hole he found and some beeping. I went to investigate and helped dig. I was flabbergasted by what was in it! A pinpointer! I still don't understand leaving a tool behind let alone in the hole.

Later I went to a junior high. I found the usual loose clad. To top off the day I found this guy... It passes the fog test and reflects white inside the stone and rainbow on the outside. I know Diamond isn't usually in silver but I've been seeing more and more people buy this stuff. Who knows... at the very least I'm pretty sure it's a silver ring. We will see when we take it to a jeweler.

LOL Someone must have Gotten Frustrated with The Pinpointer.
Digging all those Holes & Leaving the Coins Behind,
& Finally Just Buried it as useless :laughing7:
 

There are bad people out there making it hard for the rest of use when the leave a site like that, I've run across to many of those holes here as well!!
 

WoW!!.Those aren't plugs, they're craters. They owed you that carrot for dressing the area back. Congrats to ya and thanks for sharing.
 

Good job filling those holes :thumbsup: I can't believe they forgot the pinpointer! Hopefully, they give up on detecting.

That's a really nice ring! I hope it's a real diamond! Congrats! :icon_thumleft:
 

Good on you for filling in the holes . :icon_thumright:
Great score on the pin pointer !
 

Congrats on the nice hunt and for filling in the holes! :occasion14:

This seems to be a recurring thing; dug holes by detectorists and left unfilled...why? :dontknow:

You were paid nicely by the Garrett Carrot! :icon_thumleft:

From what you described, I wonder if they didn't turn the carrot on & thought it was broken & pitched it. Wouldn't surprise me!!!!

BTW Thanks for taking care of the holes!! :hello2:
 

Nice! Relichound lost his Garrett carrott the other day, but in another state!
 

I had my carrot tethered to my belt but that got pretty old, so it is back in its sheath and I just constantly feel it to make sure that it is still there. that was quite a loss for whoever but they earned it, losing it after all of the unfilled holes
