Gold, with diamonds and emerald a added bonus! Don't ignore obvious hunting spots!

I often argue with my partner about where to swing. I want to avoid the obvious.
Old softball field? School yard? Popular park? Every Tom, Dick, and Harry goes to these places when they first get a machine.
But I am continually proved wrong.
That old softball field? Coins going back to fifties, and partner gets three silver rings. The park? Artifacts going back to it's Civil War era mill days.

This time? Local small library that was former one room school house.
I was proved wrong again. The property was loaded with clad from the 80s (maybe used to hold town fair?). Mercury dime on the playground, and a gold ring!
10K with small diamonds and emerald stone. Probably a Kmart quality ring from the 70s or 80s, but that doesn't matter. It's GOLD!

The wife has already laid claim to it. Her Facebook post with the pic? "Some husbands go to Jared, mine digs them out of the ground". Lol.

Any ring is cool, but when they are gold and encrusted with gems, makes it an UBER GROOVY Find! Well done!

Sweet ring, I've found gold, gold with diamonds, Stainless with a diamond but no Emerald(my wife's favorite stone). Great score...and a wife with a sense of humor is a MUST!

Very nice ring.

Sounds like a good spot.
I've dug numerous gold rings and even a nice 14K necklace from ball fields. Plus, they're always being replenished. So yeah, many choose to overlook the "obvious" and that's fine by me. That way, we can come in and pick up gold and silver.

Hmmm. Methinks I'm gonna go hit the Library this weekend. After reading your post, I realized, I see a LOT of people sitting in the grass there!

My wife isn't high maintenance or a Jared kind of lady anyway. Like yours, she would love a gold ring that comes out of the ground. Great looking ring.
