Hi Everyone,
I'll try to keep this short and sweet. March 17 of this year I found a class ring. I was able to locate the owner and return it. What a feeling!
Last night, after some spackling at home (fun stuff), I snuck out with JohnyMc for an hour before dark. We went to a park in Easton, PA that we (along with hundreds of detectors) have pounded. We normally try the spots we feel may have been overlooked, mostly the grown in areas and woods. We both found 1923 wheats the other night, and TnT2000 found great stuff there the next morning feet from where I ended my hunt (please read his post).
Well John says, lets go in the woods right here and get some silver. After 5 minutes, I had to get out. See I have this "thing" with poison ivy! Of course John says, you're a big ______! I know it, but have spent too many days laid up in bed looking like monster with ivy bubbles.
I walked out of the woods and started swinging. I get a signal jumping between dime and quarter giving me a high silver tone 4 inches down under. I popped out the clod and thought I saw gold. I stood up and swung again. Same signal. I pick up the target and busted off the dirt. BINGO! My second class ring in 3 months! This is a ladies ring from Warren Hills Regional (NJ-nearby) class of 1976 - 10KT Jostens with the initials inside. This is her 30th reunion year and I hope to get it to her. I'm just starting my P.I. work and will keep everyone posted. John walked out and there I was sitting with a big grin. He knew something happened but his expression was priceless when he saw the ring.
John is responsible for getting me into detecting (that's what I tell my wife). Besides selling me a Prizm5 that I love, he's been a great mentor. He let me pull seated dimes from a cache in Jan. that he located and we excavated over weeks.
Gyspsyheart noted in a post to my first ring find that "I believe we reap what we sow" and my finds have just been awesome since that day. I love metal detecting more and more every day! Besides all the great stuff, I got two great friends, JohnyMc and TnT2000, all from stopping by Johns store.
Happy hunting to everyone. (Sorry I got a little gooshy!)
