Rings #74 and 75 came today, from a happy little add-on hunt.
I got to use the metal detector this morning to help a friend find a property marker to avoid having to hire a surveyor. After the event, I just typed in "nearby Schools" (since I was out of the city limits). I found a middle school I'd never hunted before and went there. I had a permit for the city already, but had never hunted this school.
I didn't find a ton, as it was a fairly new school (maybe 4-5 years?), but enough to keep it interesting. I did find a broken part of a pocket watch (used to be a farmer's field... just the guts of the watch. About half way through the junk ring showed up near the long jump station at the middle school field.
At the end of the hunt, along the line of the football field, I had a nice 60 signal. I reached for my phone to take a video, but realized I'd left it back at the car! DOH! The 60 signal ended up being the 14K ring. Missed the video, but got a gold!
So... #75 for the year is gold #6 for the year. Boomsauce! Great day! Found a survey marker, found a gold ring... and I'll probably get out again later this evening! woot!
