Its still chilly out, but I have to go back into town and pick up the wifes prescription. Of course I dress warm, but like the dummy I am I forget the camera.
The script goes off without any problems. Its cold and blowey out, but I got time now so I hit the park across the street. Wasn't expecting much as this park gets hit by everybody and their brother, including me.
I hit 3 quarters, 1 quarter, 3 more quarters, a dime and then a BIG signal! A double honker thats in the gold range. I'm thinking necklass, chain, something big? Or just a chopped up pop can?
Taking care not to damage it in case it IS something good I dig wide around the spot. I pull out a nice, dry plug and brake it open. This side shows nothing , the other side OHMYGOD!!! :o
And I don't have my camera! I'm stareing at an obvious ring! A BIG one. :hello2: And its got a nice Gold color! I opened it up slightly and I see diamonds? And a green Emerald? And a Pot leaf? WTF have I got here??? Man I wanted to rip it apart right there, but I want pictures of this baby.
Yup, the weather is blowing in, starting to snow so I put the dirt clod in my coat pocket and hop in the Scubie-doo and head home with my heart pounding and my mind racing.
At home I show the wife and g-kid! Their jaws hit the ground. I take some pics, I open it up and can see yep, its got what look like diamonds :headbang:. And maybe an emerald? :headbang: Wow, I'm freakin now. I free it completly from it's confines and slip it on my size 12 finger. It fits like a glove, er ring. It's a size 12.
OK, lets not get to excited here. Not yet. I clean the inside part and yup, theres small numbers there. The excitment level jumps. I get my pocket magnifier and have a look. 18K. !!! :headbang: Ummmm, 18 K GP. AAAAHHHH! GOLD PLATED? Are the stones real? Is the emerald real? Is it just a chunk o junk? :dontknow:
Well, I guess I'll have to take it in and have it looked at by a jewler to find out for sure. But it is by far the GROOVYEST ring I've ever found, lol. Stay tuned, Same bat time, same bat channel.

Nice Find! One of those will get the blood goin' o a cold da! That is definately a chunky ring. Keep up the good work. MJ
 

Here's an update on the ring after being appraised.
It's Junk! :'(
The guy says the diamonds are CZ and the green stone is colored glass. Bummer.
But still, my spirits are high and it was a lot of fun finding it. It's sort of like "The thrill of the kill" It may not be what I was hunting for, just as long as I GET TO KILL SOMETHING!! BWAHAHAHAHA
Ooops, got carried away. Good thing it's a metal detector and not a rifle. :laughing9:
And a friend of mine has some sand and seed mix from golfing and I promise I will repair my diviot. :thumbsup:
