DIGGER27
In Memory Of
Tired of sitting on my porch watching the world go by so I went to my local park again...for the 3427th time.
I have found a ton here over the years but it can be challenging and great finds are few and far between.
Still, never give up, never surrender!
It was me and a bunch of younger groups of frisbee players, none of which were practicing safe distancing.
The goal today was to just get out and dig, everything except iron was in play.
Here is most of my trash...
Here are my 11-13 targets on the Nox...
This was a solid 12 from a few inches deep.
I only saw the edge in a clump of dirt and I thought it was just an old cap from one of those tiny liquor bottles.
Picked it up and the dirt fell out of the middle, thought it was just a tiny kid's ring.
Wrong again!
I sat down and cleaned it up a bit and it got real shiney.
Looked inside and it was stamped, HAPPINESS...and then I see that beautiful 14k mark.
At home I weighed it...2.3 grams, shined it up and took a few pics then showed the wife.
Fits her pinky perfectly, I owned it for a little while but not any more.
Such is life.
That's ok, I already got my joy out of it so now it's her turn.
First gold with the Nox...I am now confident it won't be the last.
