Rings

[Teach]

Has it been any ones experience to find that rings are lost more in some place than in others? Like parks, baseball diamonds vs the beach?

Those are good areas but the beach likly would take first place.
Tot lots are also a good second !

And a tot lot is what? A playground area like with sand and slides that kind of thing?

I have found 4 rings so far. And three of them have come from the same schoolyard.

I don't have a beach cose by, so I've only found 10rings and only two of those have been good ones. both of those were in city park playgrounds. the others have come from a family members yard and a sand volleyball court\, in fact the first one I found was in a volleyball court. the nicest one is a very nice ladies ring with a decent garnet stone in it. Very pretty ring. That was in a playground (wood chips).

I keep track of how many rings I find. I track all rings including junkers. Here are my results: Land hunting means just that in a variety of different locations. (School yards, parks, fair grounds, beaches)
Water hunting, is in the water 100% of the time. I've made ring finds in shallow water below knee deep but most of my time is spent waste deep and deeper. (I don't bend over so well anymore!)

Description Times Detecting # of Rings # of hunts to find a ring.

Land hunting 62 10 6.2

Water hunting 82 41 2

In Combination 144 51 2.823

So my experience has to be water hunting hands down!

Beaches have to be number 1 for rings, followed by, probably, parks with with baseball diamonds coming in last. Beaches are definately the top places for bling of any sort. I have found stuff on baseball diamonds including rings but in relation to the time spent hunting very little. You can make some find on softball fields where the preteen and teen girls play. They seem to like to wear their jewelry out on the field and some of course does get lost but unfortunately its usually of the cheaper costume grade.

Sports fields are good as is any beach or swimming area.

Well there definitely seems to be some differences of opinion. Guess it might boil down to who's detector works best in that person's particular favorite area. Or.............perhaps that persons skills working that type of area or a combination of both.

I guess the bottom line is if ya want potatoes, ya gotta grab a hoe!

When I get up off my lazy ass and go out detecting, I always find something. Put in the hours and reap the rewards.
