Today's digs

[steve in so la]

Got out early & hit a few parks today. Dug 53 coins, 4 rings, Mexican 50 cent and 20 cent coins, crack pipe, knife & 2 matching ear rings that were hooked together. No silver or gold today.

You would think at least one ring out of 4 would be precious metal- not to be today.

Also, at one park I could tell it had been done by others but I still got the goods. All these things came from that tot lot that others had missed. Too high a disc will miss things. I dug 1 nickel and thought hmmm. Dug another one and knew the high disc diggers had been there.

Don't know what the owl item is - has a hook on the bottom that comes outward.

You are the jewelry man. Congratulations.

Those two colored coins look like the Philippine coins I kept, from my last trip to the islands. Precious metal or not - it looks like a good hunt.

Congrats on all the goodies and the Owl might be a zipper pull for a jacket, shirt or sweater! Ma Betty

Interesting ring finds!

So ... did nobody else catch the ... crack pipe ... lol Thanks for cleaning up!

I have found several pipes like that - always get rid of them - don't need to be caught with residue. Fat chance of explaining to the cops ! Steve in so az

How many times have you found pairs of ear rings?

 

[steve in so la]

maybe 4-5 times over the 30 years I have been digging. Steve

I have found earrings hooked together or lying by each other, also, but not very many! I imagine if a person lived near the beaches they would find more of them and even rings placed together where people removed them to keep from losing them in the water, but lose them on land anyway....we humans seem to be sooooo forgetful to our own detriment of losing things! :sad: May God Bless! AMen! Ma Betty

One time I found a pair of sterling ear rings " still in the sales card " lying on a play platform in a tot lot. Steve

Some mother had gone shopping and to watch or help her child on the playground, she laid them there for a couple of minutes and then whatever happened she forgot to pick them up again! I sure hope it wasn't because of a hurt child needing quick emergency care! She probably kicked herself when she remembered she left them there when she went to find them and discovered they were gone! May God Bless each of us with better memories, including me!!!! Amen!
