Hit a local volleyball court that I've been frequenting on and off, usually about once or twice a week..pass by it on the way home from work everyday. Just happened to have the Whites MXT with me...as if I don't always ..... started working the three nets, starting under the net, working down through all three, then back and forth to cover both sides of all three nets...Didn't make it past the second net, when the meter pegged out with a loud and noisy overload. Stuck my plastic scoop into the sand, ran the scoop under the coil , and another big huge overload. Started sifting out the sand, and Eureka....there laid a little oriental pouch, with a zipper under the flap. Well, you can imagine what came to MY mind....and it wasn't empty either..shook it a bit hearing the clanging of something inside. Well, the anticipation was too great...I looked around to see if anyone was around, but I had the whole place to myself. I unzipped the pouch, looked inside and almost had a heart attack. My heart stopped a few beats 
as I saw glimmering staring up at me..two rings..not one but TWO !!!! I pulled them out in my hand, one appears to be a birthstone ring, perhaps a Citrine, don't know, but the other is unmistakable diamonds, diamonds, and more diamonds. After getting home, cleaned them up a bit with a soft toothbrush and toothpaste. Boy do they shine now. Counted 24 diamonds total on the one, and the other has two small chips - one on either side of the stone , but they didnt test real. However, the other one..did test real. I can just imagine if I lived close to the coast..but living so far away from the ocean, it's hard to find a good place to hunt by the water, which is my favorite place to hunt. So, I just hunt the parks, look for all the volleyball courts I can find, and hit as many playgrounds I can find and thats the extent of my detecting. So, for those who don't believe in volleyball courts, you may want to consider the possibilities...I'm a firm believer now for sure. If anyone can identify the yellow stone ..it would be appreciated. Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting to all !!!
