Went out detecting with my brother. We stopped at a park we found and started swinging, we were probably only there 10 minutes when a town truck pulls up. The gentleman tells us the park is private :?:. We had totally missed the sign saying Kiwanis Club park. The guy was very friendly and apologetic so we apologized and moved on. We decided to hit some curb strips near an the park and started getting hits left and right. We pulled so many Matchbox and Hot wheels in front of one house I asked the folks inside if they had kids that lost them. They said no and had no idea how they got in front of their house. After about 45 minutes I got a grunt on the 250. After reading forums on this sight I now know to dig those pop tops and nickle signals. Out popped the ring :shock:. This is my first gold....ever. This forum has helped me out immensely and I would like to say thank you to everyone who puts their advice and experience for us to read. HH all.

Congrats on the gold and the other cool finds.

I say you use R2D2 as your good luck charm...start carrying it with you :)
 
Congrats, The old ace finds the gold, I have recovered a lot with mine in playgrounds.
Also at the dry sand beach. One ring from a dirt parking lot. Etc, etc.
Dig those solid nickel signals!
 
Great report! Congrats on the curbstrip gold ring! All the rest makes for a decent haul too. I like digging toys. They're fun.
Good job on the cleanup and photo shoot too.
