Default i'm ticked off

I finally found my first ring at the big park at a sand volleyball court. it was a very small holed gold 14k ring. the other day we went detecting and my son had the ring which barely fitted and was playing around and lost the friggin thing. i searched for it but we hit many places at the park and it was getting late so i gave up. my son and i just learned a very important lesson. next time i will get him a 25 cent ring and keep the good ones in a safe place darnet

Default Find It Lose It

SMARTFOX, I LOST AT LEAST 2 RINGS THAT WAY. IF YOU GIVE IT TO A FAMILY MEMBER, the ring needs to be resized to fit! Never give it to your child or any child, children play and are not paying attention when they lose it! If an adult loses it they can usually tell you approximately where they lost! With children, it is always the opposite they have no idea where it was lost! If your child really wants a ring, tell them that you will hold it for them until they are older. Of course, a young adult can lose a ring too but a child almost always will lose it! Sorry for your loss, but it has happened before! Any thing that you cherish such as your 1st silver coin,1st ring, 1st relic, etc. really needs to go into a Safety Deposit box. You determine the value to you, not the monetary value. Go out and hunt again that 2nd ring will come soon! JOE

Default thanks guys

just found my 2nd ring and of course my som wants it again. this is another ring similar as the one I found and he lost. this one fits him and when he went to sleep yesterday he woke up and lost it. Luckily i searched at his bed and found it. today we are going detecting again and i put it in a safe place at home. i half learned the lesson i guess. I mean these rings are gold but for kids so i am mad if i lose it but not too bad but i will try my best not to lose this one. hopefully i will get a real good rind or old coins soon.

Ummm id suggest you make a deal with your son that he will get those "less expensive" rings. Trust me, you will find several of those once you get the nack of it.
