I love herds of people and what they leave on Friday 13th

[smokeythecat]

There were a zillion people at a park today. Probably my last time there for awhile, and after they left, I started going into two areas of the park. First area produced a lot of large iron, most of which I left to rust in peace. Also, a pulltab bonanza.

Was getting boring, so went across the street, then another street and started detecting again. Got GASP! more pulltabs and bottle caps, and finally some coins. The numbers on the machine were all over the mid and high tone range (I hate the screw off aluminum caps), anyway on the way out got a nice 14k gold mans' ring.

I'll get pics after my happy cat nap.

Congrats on that 14k gold man's ring, looking forward to the pics. Now it sounds like you did a lot of digging for that ring and I'm not busting your chops or anything butttttt. Happy Cat Nap? If I had found a 14k gold ring. I would still be in that same spot doing my John Travolta Saturday Night Fever Boogie Dance.... just sayin. Just like Loco-Digger after he found that Awesome Love Token. Once again, congrats on the ring.

Nice recovery from the tab/cap fest! Congrats on the gold ring!

I am so glad I am in LOVE with pull tabs or I would get discouraged very quickly

I'm waiting,,,

Shovelindave, it was a VERY recent drop. About today, naps are more important than gold when you get to be an older cat. I shall proceed out to the truck to get the pulltabs so we can do a decent photo spread. Back in a couple minutes.

I'm back. Didn't take a picture of everything. Ring was almost totally under the grass. Recently lost.

Your a gold magnet Smokey

 

[smokeythecat]

Yes, this has been the year of gold. Got the silver cache earlier this year and very little silver since. Lots of Zincolns however. A couple CW pieces, odds and ends, the beach has been very productive, but I pound it and pound it and then do it again. Most days I'm the only person out there detecting, so that's probably why it's been so good this year. Less competition.

I SAY YOU SAID GOLD , NICE FIND

 

[scruggs]

Nice pile you recovered especially the gold ring...what a topper it was!

 

[smokeythecat]

And I have a collection of choice pull tabs! Didn't mention the aluminum cans, all 20 of them. And the shredded cans, another 15 or so. The one disc with a hole in it has a number on it, probably a tag for a key.

Nicely done! Congrats on the gold ring.
Those screw caps get me almost every time. That and can slaw.
But dig I must if I want the goodies.

Cat naps are awesome.

WE must dig the aluminum to get the gold! I actually like these pull tabs and *gasp* am going to keep them.

I think the "beaver tail types" are like 40 years old now? Almost protected by antiquities laws in places.
