Rain gods were nice, MD gods, not so

[oz_il]

Rain gods gave me an after work break so I headed to a park that has a very slight incline as I knew most parks would be a mud pit so any high ground, all be it just a few inches was good enough to MD. But first - the playground beckoned. I hit it late last fall so didn't expect much. 2 nickels and 6 cents. Some areas had the woodchips still frozen solid.

I then hit the park - 1 quarter, 3 nickels and 15 cents. Of course pull tabs, can slaw, etc were also unearthed. I did manage a fake (cheap-o) ring and a St Rita/Pray for Us medallion that was also junk. Knew that when I dug it up as silver doesn't rust LOL.

Bet that ring gave you a thrill, if only for an instant...

Glad you got out!

Actually no - rang up as a dime (clue #1 not gold) and I've found so many fakes VS the real deal I know consider anything gold fake, then check it out hoping the other way. I found an 18K ring on the surface of a playground (stone was missing) and just figured it was a fake. Brought it home and see 18K and a maker's mark :P Rains came down hard and wiped the area clean where I found it. Had no clue on where to look for the stone.

Only me

Don't you hate it when the plating starts flaking off?

Still glad to hear you got some time to get out

Take care,
