In Memory Of
Found 3 gold rings in late August, since then no gold or silver, either.
My itch cycle is about 30 days between gold finds.
I don't usually stay on that schedule, there is no rhyme or reason to my gold finds time-frame, but after I find some I start getting pretty antsy at around that 30 day mark and really have a great need to find some more.
For the last two weeks I have been using my prime jewelry hunter, my Compadre, because after all the great stuff I found this summer with my F2, I think the mojo has been used up and it needs to recharge.
I have been hitting some of my park sites, but besides clad the only jewelry I have been finding has been of the non-precious metal variety.
AKA junk.
I was looking at google maps and found a park I hadn't noticed or hunted yet and it was only about 6 miles south of me so away I went.
Loved hunting this place.
I don't think it is really old, some very modern and newer looking tot lot equipment here, but there also isn't a huge amount of trash on every swing, either.
Some, but not tons of trash like some parks I have been hunting.
Ended up with a real good day.
Found a bunch of clad, over $5, which is not bad for a 4 hour hunt.
Lots of dimes, several quarters, and a lot of zinc pennies...and on every one of them I was hoping to see a big gold ring pop up instead.
Also found this military pin, and if anyone knows what this represents I would appreciate a heads up on that.
Also a John Daly Signature Course ball marker...or something related to golf.
Searched a tot lot, around a basketball court, and then I started to hunt around a picnic pavilion.
3 hours in, and still no silver or gold.
Then, when I wasn't even expecting it, (I never do), I got a high foil signal and it was loud.
Right on the L in foil is where it came in as I dialed the knob down.
I knew it was something like small can slaw and shallow, or a larger piece of foil, or something else.
This time, it was something else,
Not huge, but it was clean and shiny and I knew it was gold.
2.3 grams of 10k yellow goodness.
Ok, itch cycle is reset, I guess I can relax for another month until that nervous feeling comes back.
Maybe I will be lucky and find one more piece of AU before winter shuts us down around here.
Oh yea, for you guys that are into math, here is the picture of the amount of trash I had to dig today to find this ring.
I knew most of these signals were trash but I dug them anyway because in reality, you just never really know what you have till you dig it.
Today's equation is this much trash equals one gold ring.
I will take that kind of math every day of the week.
