Merry Christmas to me! update - pics added.

Postby TXTim » Sun Dec 12, 2010 11:10 pm

Got out with the metal detector early this morning and dug a nice little gold diamond girls ring.
Better yet, while searching a box of pennies tonight, out pops a 1931 S in VF-20+ condition!!! :shock:
I'll post a picture tomorrow.

The pics are somewhat blurry - camera is acting weird-

Hey pard!
How you and your better half doing?
The ring came from a private lot that has an old ball field on it - the ring is 40's era.

Hope you stopped by a convenience store to buy a lottery ticket too.

arggghhh, that 31-s had my name on it Timmy. Congrats!!! I guess you can put it on top of the other 3-4 you have laying around. Now its time for you to find a 1/10 oz gold eagle in a bag/roll :)

Thanks guys!
Scotty - I got that box 250 miles away up in east TX when I picked up my mom-in-law.
I am paying dearly for it!

And I just starting feeling better about not getting to go dirt fishing with my metal detector. That's one super duper find...the penny, too! Some of my better hunting grounds are under 4-8 foot drifts of snow! Good luck with finds!
