Default A few non-coin finds

Got a whopping 1/4'' of rain so I plugged the house where someone's bro-in-law had lost his platinum wedding band this past winter. First search (about 3 weeks back) resulted in pull tabs, a junk kiddie earring and a few coins. This time I asked the general area where the ring was lost. She asks her ten YO son who was with the guy when it happened. Points to a small area but of course the ring may have come off anywhere. It may also have been sucked in when mowing the lawn. Anyway found a couple of non-coin finds. Looks like something off a plaque or trophy?? The other is a generic token. "Parking Token" - like I'll be able to trace where that came from LOL.

No ring, I'll try again some other time.

I assumed the plaque was from the local parish (a few blocks away from where I found it) but couldn't find any information on when Holy Redeemer was a high school. Could have been back in the day I guess.


Off to Vegas Thursday to lose all the money I found MDing
