Hello Everyone,
With work behind me, I spent the rest of my Saturday digging...OF course. Found this sterling ring...looks sort of well worn. Always glad to find silver no matter what. I spent some time going along the edge of the roads in this park...along the concrete curbs. You can tell 'old' cement when you see it, and this certainly was. Some curbs in this park have almost crumbled away and when the black top was put in, sort of over shadowed the curbs...but many of them are still there. My thought was that people may have sat along these to rest or tie their shoes, or, tripped over them...walked on them like a tightrope etc., so, there must have been some moments of droppage...and I am always trying to think of places that have been hunted to death that people don't really spend a lot of time on or neglect. The ground along most of the curbs here slope into the curb itself, because most of the park is on rolling hills(Iowa...lol). But these have eroded to some degree...and that is also what I look for...where there are signs of open dirt, scantly grassy areas that you can see the dirt, even moss growing(not sure why but these mossy areas seem to indicate good spots for me in heavily trodden places). I look for where the slopes or hills drastically drop off too...which in my thinking is erosion working for you, because as the ground gives in these areas, it also gives up it's buried goods. So, watch for signs like this in your parks and such.
Among my other finds of note, I am most interested in that tag. It's going to drive me bonkers until I figure out what those initials stand for. I don't know what it was for...whatever it was for, it was #11 ... therefore, there were 10 more before it, and who knows how many after it lol. Maybe it was a key fob, or a tag for a purse or bag of some kind. If you have an idea PLEASE let me know.
Lastly...I am the wheat finder...1925 for collection.
Ok, that's it for now...depending on the weather...as it's raining as I write this, Sunday might be an indoor day for me.
