4 nice rings in one tot lot................no way............yes way.........:cam:

Well, what can I say?

I'll just tell the story.

It goes like this.......................................

I went back up to a town that is about 31 miles north of here.
I hunted a tot lot in a large park there a couple of weeks ago.
When I was there, I spied a small neighborhood park that was
not much more than a playground and a few tables. Not even
any parking.

Look at that oak tree behind my car...!!!!

I hunted there for about 45 minutes and finished one half of the
tot lot before I found my first coin, a penny.

I was hot sweaty and wanted to leave. But I went on and did
not make it another 6' before I found this.

A broken 14k gold ring. Nice before it broke.

I decided to hunt some more. When I got over to a small slide
I found 3 rings within a 9' circle.

This one is 10K gold. That makes 8 gold rings I have found this
year.

This one is 925 silver. Also stamped "CANADA" inside. It's nice.

This one does not test as gold. I think it says " ROMAN ' on the
inside. Don't know what that means.

I have never found that many nice rings in one tot lot before.

Wow, what a nice little tot lot.

None of the stone tested as diamonds.

I have no idea about the colored stones.

Here's the rest of the fruits of my labor.

When I was leaving, an old man stoped and said that a few
fellows in the neighborhood had one of them there metal
detectors and they hunted in the park a lot. He also told
me other places they hunted.

Maybe that is why there were so few coins.

But how did they miss the rings???????

I think it's because there are big spikes driven into the
playground all over the place to hold down the padding under
the shreaded tires.

That makes it difficult for the average MDer to hunt.

But I got a Compadre

Nice job. You never know what a day of detecting will bring you. Sometimes zilch, sometimes euphoria!! Looks like it was a happy day for you.

Nice finds.
I can tell you from experience,it does not make any difference how many people detect a place,they always miss good targets.From the photo,that looks to be an old park,even if it is small.Grid that sucker out and search every square foot,right out to the edges.Go slow and do a thorough search under the old trees.Some of my best finds have come from those small old parks that are overlooked by most detectorists.

congrats very good finds.

Congrats on some great finds! I've found as many as three rings, some junk, but never four in one day.

The reason there were few coins and all those rings is because lots of detectorists, especially around here, don't want to bother with trash and will discriminate out everything below silver dimes. They have no clue what they are passing up, and probably wouldn't dig even if they did. Most of my best finds have been from sites that have been pounded so hard that everybody thinks they are "worked out".

Nobody gets it all, not even me. I've gone over one particular site at least thrity times and I still find some good stuff occasionally. Anyone who goes over a place once and moves on is only fooling themselves. But I'm really glad most do exactly that!!

But I still love your finds, Gray Ghost.

Relics, or artifacts give me such a thrill.

But I'll take the gold, that's for sure.

HH,

 

[tabdog]

I am learning that more and more.

I spent most of the winter at the park down the road.

Made lots of nice finds.

I can still go to the same spots and find stuff with any of my MD's.

Lots of technique involved there.

[Cherokeefan68]

Nice Finds.. Congrats

 

[on-edge]

nothing like coming back from a hunt with a huge smile on your face! nice hunt tabdog

 

[tabdog]

Just an observation.

I usually can count on finding some nice ear rings,
pendants and charms in a tot lot.

But seldom do I find a nice ring. Right off hand, I can
only remember finding one gold ring in a tot lot. Also
I think I remember finding two silver rings. But that's
about it for all the tot lots I have hunted.


I found no nice ear rings, pendants or charms in this
tot lot. Only four nice rings.

I just thought that was strange................................

HH,

 

[scubadetector]

Very nice. Finding rings in a tot lot? That must be a record of some sort!! Congrats!
