Have you ever found something good under strange circumstances? Heres one of mine involving how the treasure was found.
When I was about 9 years old I was playing with a friend in an open field just off the Santa Fe Trail with a boomerang. I had thrown the boomerang and it didn't quite make it back to me. When I went to retrieve it it had stuck in the ground and as I pulled it up popped a huge gold ring where it had hit the ground.
This thing was big. I could stick 2 of my fingers in it and still move it around. It had a scull and crossbones, made of gold, set in what was probably onyx because I remember it being black. On the sides were lions. I took the ring home to my parents and they suggested I put it away for safe keeping until I was older.
Many years later I remembered the ring and asked about it but my mom was unable to find it. She thought either one of us boys, there was 6 of us, had taken it to play with and lost it, or my oldest brother had hocked it. Anyway, this was the very first treasure and was found with a $2 dollar piece of wood. I wish I had a chance now to do some research on that thing. The location it was found meant it could have been very old.
