I went back to that swimming hole I got the ring at yesterday and commenced to working the deep water drop off. not a lot there, got this very tiny black ring that turned out to be .8gr and 10k very old...then I noticed a large shallow flat that I figured would be a great area for an in the water football game. Along came split shots, coins, and bottle tops from some Leinenkugle beer, a good sign I thought, perhaps some pseudo-wealthy young gentlemen hang out here and not cheap old Bud drinkers such as myself. Cheap old Bud drinkers have too much respect for the environment to toss bottle tops in the water, besides that, we drink from cans, and we stand in awe of the design and metallurgical engineering that goes into producing a pulltab so we don't tear those off either. And, we are NOT going to lose any of our gold, our typical only possession of such being a generally small, tight fitting, and unobtrusive ring on our left hand. A daily reminder of past dalliances, HOWEVER, a testosterone charged younger male WOULD drink a fancy beer, play football in shallow water, show off, rough house, and might be inclined to wear a big class ring or other shiny trinket of wealth, intended to catch the eye of his quarry I reckoned! So, sweeping merrily along, got a very scratchy 41-42 bouncy signal on the Pro and about wet myself bloody stupid seeing half this chain hanging out of the scoop! (10k) I pulled a tight and careful circle around the find in search of a medallion to no avail. Dug a few quarters at over a foot running half throttle...I've been working hard to find gold fellows, so I was due, plus its a waning Moon, which everyone knows helps...
