Hello Good Folks At Whites.
This past Easter I was looking forward to some good digging time with my recently purchased Prizm 3. My wife had plans for us to go to her parents house. I didn't argue the point because they live across the street from 3 huge Little League/ Miss Soft Ball Fields.
As my wife and her sister prepared holiday dinner I headed for the dug outs and concessions area. About 45 minutes into the hunt with slow digging because of rock hard ground I was called to dinner. On my way to the house from deep right field I got a tone. In a hurry to get some good eats I pondered if I would dig or not. I AM SO GLAD I DID!!! Pushing my trowel into the hard ground to about 3 inches, I lifted a good plug. In the center of the hole was a hint of yellow. reaching down I pulled out a 14kt gold dolphin earing. Never in my wildest dreams did I think gold. I swept the hole again and another tone, slightly off from the original. I dug again and the twin sister of the first dolphin was looking at me. I FOUND BOTH EARINGS WITHIN INCHES OF EACH OTHER!!!. At first I didn't think they were real. We asked a jeweler and he said that, yes, they are real. And my wife has a nice addition to jewelry chest!!! All thanks to Whites and a great Machine... the Prizm 3.
