Default gotta love those pixies

got into the water today - it was pretty chilly. After about 15 min. i wasn’t too sure about how long i was going to last. I appealed to the pixies - for anything - even a small 10k band. My wishes seemed to fall of deaf ears. I continued even though i was discouraged by being cold. A few times i was going to go the car, change, + work the wet sands. But, i persevered. Well, it paid off - this diligence pleased the pixies + they deposited a 2.1g 14k 1/2carat ring in my scoop. My eyes bulged when i saw it!! As i was cold by then, it was time to get out of the water + off to home to check to see if the diamond was real - yes, it tested positive for diamond. The little lady was very happy that the pixies finally gave her something to smile about - which is a good thing for my being able to go detecting in peace! So, all i can do is thank the pixies.
Donald

yes, it does appear that the pixies are with me. for this i am grateful. the interesting thing will be in seeing how long this time of favor will last as they seem to be very fickle - now i am saying this in a good way about their seeming to be fickle as i am never sure about what they are trying to accomplish - and even if they are trying to accomplish something.
