Last dig was a heart thumper!!!

[Dimeman]

Got out this morning for a 2 hour hunt to a park that I haven't been to yet.
Took my backup detector, White's IDX and the shooter coil, and hit the tot area first. Didn't know how the area residents would react , but I really don't think they would bother a crazy old white guy flipping a Lesche digger in his hands!!!!!! :P :P

Found a few Zincoln cents and a clad quarter and then got the Full House Twins button. ( Mary-Kay and Ashley)

After a dozen or so pulltabs and bottlecaps, I head over to the ballfield area to see how many pulltabs I can actually dig. :P

A clad quarter, clad dime and a few more Zincolns and bottlecaps later I pull a 1935D Merc out of the dirt field.
As Gomer Pyle used to say.. "Su-prise.....Su-prise!!!!"
Working toward the backstop I get another clad dime and couple of nickels.
More bottlecaps, pulltabs and Zincolns later, I decide to work back to my car. On the way back I get another nickle/pulltab signal and tell myself " This is the LAST pulltab I'M digging today!!"

When I saw the golden color, I fell over.....literally....... I was on my hands and knees digging this one out!!
Not a bad day, with a silver Merc and a nice looking ring.

Nice take for 2 hours...Exactly what I did this afternoon, hit a park, tot lot first, 1 zinc penny..worked over to the ball field. 22 cents in clad and a ring with bling !@!!!@## After a little cleaning though, shows a lot of wear..awwwwww shucks..and the stones didn't test positive. Heres my take.

HH to all

Thanks for the nice comments on the ring I dug, today!!! .

I checked it with my diamond tester on the small diamond looking stones and they are NOT diamonds. Probably CZ's.

And looking at the mark on the inside of the band with a 10X loupe I do see the 14K, but also hard to read from some scratches is the letters "GE" ....meaning this ring is a plated ring.....nice looking,...... but plated.

 

[Southern_Boy]

Wow! That is an awesome ring.
