ok where do i start?
i didn't think there was any work today so,i was packing up my detector and the phone rang.something told me don't answer but i did.my boss asked if i wanted to do some volunteer work?being the sucker(i mean nice guy)that i am ...i said yes.soon as i hung up the phone i was cussin up a stormso we get to this abandoned roller rink.he says we are gonna cut up the hard wood floor in sections to be installed at a catholic school gymnasium.so he had to leave.now,i had a little time to explore.something or intuition told me look inbetween the floor and the waist high wall going around the rink is an expansion joint about 2 inches wide.stuffed in that space is old black round pipe insulation.i started pulling out the 6 foot lengths one at a time.i noticed loose change.i decided now to get on my hands and knees and grab a small stick and investigate further.amongst the dust bunnies,hairballs,wads of gum & sticky pieces of candy,were an assortment of goodies that i couldn't beleive!
i now feel like a jerk for being mad in the first placei guess this was a blessing in disguise.how ironic this day turned out to be.GOD is goodi will bring my camera tomorrow and take a few pics of the roller rink and the space i found all this stuff in(post that tommorow).110 coins total,some roller rink tokens.1-10kt gold bracelet.1-14 kt gold bracelet.1-14 kt gold rope necklace & some small misc real gold links..1-sterling ring.1-sterling kittie pin and a whole bunch of interesting little kiddie charms and what not.
well,sorry for all the babbling enjoy the pics!
