Ring Man Asks?? Is There A Ring In Every Park???:yikes:

[Rosco Bookbinder]

Went out early this morning before it got hot. Hit my favorite local park and pulled out a Kennedy Half from the playground bark and a nice sterling ring from the lawn about 2 inches deep. 18 coins for $.85. Then went to the big park downtown and worked one area for an hour and half. Pulled 79 coins for $4.40. Total this morning....97 coins for $5.25 and a bus token(hey, that's where I work)(we don't take the tokens anymore). Now yard work to do...

Nice ring. Those halves are hard to come by. I've only found one myself. A 1952. Ben Franklin. 90% silver

The simple answer? Probably. But, you inadvertently answered your own question - second park, no ring.

I am sure rings are everywhere. It's just the luck of the draw. I am sure we have swung just a few inches from them many a time. Heck, one day I was walking out without swinging and hit one. One step the other way and I would have missed it. Like I said, right place, right time.

Good answer Dave but you have no idea. I was headed to one side of the park to do some swinging. Met with a guy that was working one area. I started to walk and swing to the "clock tower area" and bing, bing, bing. I never left that part. We are talking about an area less than a football field. I spent my whole time there that I had allowed myself. I never made it to the clock. This park gets replenished every weekend. No problem. A ring??? I'll find it......eeheeh....

I think it was in one of "Clive's" books, that 90% of all jewelry is lost either in the water or within 10 foot of it.

That leaves the other 10% lost somewhere.

I've had pretty good luck finding jewelry, especially toe rings, in the volley ball court. I know others that have pretty good success in the kiddy lot. When it cools down this fall, I'm going to concentrate more on rings in parks. I have kind of found my knack for finding them in the water now, and hope to use the experience to find them on dry land.
