Got fooled twice at the park today, Doh!

[oldmxrat]

Did a little park hunting today and well, the title says it all.
Gold plated Shriners ring and a stainless steel band. Man, what a bunch of cheapskates out there!
$5.36 in clad and some other random junk completed the deal.
Btw, that $5.36 is ONE gallon of gas here!

Not Bad
It’s always better to come home with more than you left with.
Congratulations on your nice recoveries

It may not be silver and gold, but I bet it was still thrilling to find. Congratulations!

Well done on the recoveries
I don't remember digging certain golds and silvers.
Though I do remember the Nitro moments of oh wow-then realizing it wasn't to be.

I got fooled twice a couple of weeks ago. Thought it was kinda funny afterwards but at the time my heart dropped on the first one and I believe I said "oh boy" out loud,thought I found my first gold band🤣 then sadness kicked in😥 20secs later, found the 2nd one.

Yes Sir those Nitro moments are incredible and rewarding

That’s been my summer this year. Almost to the point where I see a ring and I’m reflexing to “Another fake”. Just a matter of time until we hit the goods buddy. Just a matter of time…

Indeed! Way better than clad and pull tabs!

Ouch!

It’s always a special moment when I see any type of rings in the scoop.
There’s more back there waiting for you

I can imagine the excitement and then the let down...the Shriner ring is an unusual find though...
