Default BINGO! First gold with my MD

Hey all,

Checked a new play area this morning and finally hit GOLD.

1 penny & 1 dime, and light trash. Biggest pain was the staples holding the felt under the bark. Almost didn't dig this one up because of the 3 staples prior.

Soon as I saw the wonderful sparkel I knew what it was. YIPPPY Not sure about the charm, not very heavy, but the chain says :750 18k. Then the boys and girls club showed up and 100 little childern were running hi & low so I made my exit and wanted to share it with ya'all.

Nice little set of earings was the second and third hole, right next to each other.

I'm on cloud 9 atm Thanks fer looking.

Rick
