My wife and I enjoy taking our 2500s out to some of the local parks/playgrounds. Last week, at a playground in a local park about 5km from home, I found a nice earring with some different colored stones. I don't think it's worth a lot, but it was in like new condition and says "Avon" on the back. Anyway, my wife liked it, but says "Gee, too bad I don't have the other one".
... Fast forward to today. We were detecting in a city park in another town about 12km the other direction. I was happily digging $1 and $2 coins from the park lawn while my wife was trying the little play area in the corner of the park (all the playground areas around here are topped with wood chips, so digging is easy and finds are usually still nice and shiney). After a while, she comes over to me and says "You're not going to believe what I found...". I asked if she had found the big diamond ring shes always wanted to find. She says no, but it is jewelry. She holds out her hand and there is the mate to the earring I had found last week, 17km away. Identical in condition and in every aspect! What are the odds? Someone must have been going to some of the local playgrounds and losing pieces along the way. It's not a real common looking design, like a simple gold ring or anything. Simply amazing!
I think it may be time to go and buy a couple of lotto tickets!
Anyone ever had something like this happen?
