Well My four year old is just learning to ride her "two wheel bike". Earlier today I took her to the nearby high school to giver her a few more pointers. She figured it out!
Well about half an hour before dark she started hounding me to go back to the high school to ride her bike some more, well I caved because she's my sweetheart, and...I noticed when I was there earlier that they had torn up a section of lawn next to the parking lot.
Tearouts are probably my favorite hunting grounds, you can dig some beautiful spots without worrying about the lawn.
Anyhow, it got dark fast, I only found bits of foil, pulltabs and a bit of clad. It was getting chilly, and I told my daughter it was time to go home. She said "no dad, you dig some more good things first." Shes used to asking when we can go home and my response is "when I dig one more good thing!". Well I hit a couple more pennies and my wife pulled into the parking lot and said "it's past bedtime" I told her to watch her daughters improved riding skills and went back to swinging. I figured I could sneak one more target. I got over something that sounded barely good enough to dig, dug it up and it was a 1993 mens class ring! It was way dark, even with my led light i couldn't read the hallmarks, but I could read the name. I recognized the last name, so I knew it didn't matter what it was made of it was going back to it's owner.
Got it home and still cant read the hall marks, but I don't think it's gold
bummer. Hallmark is two diamonds side by side with what may be a script letter 'J' in each one, followed by a circled 'C'. sorry my camera doesn't handle macro very well so the pictures are basic.
