Gold "O" inscribed "The Beginning...." part 2

[leslie(nova scotia)]

Bottle caps and coins popped out of the ground with no problem as the earth had yet to freeze. By one ball field on the Commons I pulled out a plug and there she was.............yesssssssssssss!
At first I thought it was silver.....not! Not having my specs on I couldn't read the hallmark nor the engraving which I later discovered read "The beginning of forever" along with the 10k marking.


Happy with the ring I continued on a digging as the weather got progressively foul. My middle finger on my swinging hand got numb and won't bend remaining in the "upright" position. Good thing I didn't have to wave to anyone!

Being a unionized dig ,(United Nuts digging In Every Spot or "Undies" for short)I took a coffee break at Tim's to warm up on the inside and out.

Returning to the fields I was greeted by a few mangy mutts who sniffed and returned to their owners. Scared the crap out of me. On the bright side..... easy way to loss 40 pounds four shore me bouy. Anyway dug away finding a wack of keys and pennies. Then all hell broke loose
and this was just the beginning. Too much for this bouy so I warmed up Otto and tobagganed home passing two cars off the Bihi in the ditch.

Take for the day was the gold ring, 3 keys and 62 coins @ $7.80


Lord love a duck. Marie is putting up the Christmas tree and decorating it as I write this post. That is not too bad but for the next two hours I'll be subjected to her karaoking to every song from the "Sound of Music" dvd playing on the tube. Praise the Lord as I have headphones that I can plug into my computer and "Limewire"!

WTG with the gold ring. It looks hefty and a neat design. Great coin find too. I hope to do at least half as well when I can find a ball field that isn't Astro Turf!
Really enjoy your posts and hope Otto continues to pass the cars in the ditch.
Happy hunting, I will be thinking warm thoughts for you.
