3rd trip to the park, another 20 mins before dark for eldest son to have a swing.
Nothing in the bark chip (dad cleaned it out last week....shhhhh)
2c at 6", then mower smashed alloy can bits x 2 registering silver, then a good clear target indicating a couple of inches deep, plug out....there it is a gold coin....great $2.......no......shine the torch closer..... a gold ring, good one son let's clean it up and show mum.
Now I was thinking the detector had paid for itself on the 3rd outing as it was a nice chunky sized gold ring, possibly quite old due to its thickness........but.....it comes from middle earth and was meant to make my son disappear when he put it on.
Unfortunately it was a dud, gold plated and far from magical in my mind........luckily my sons think it is wildly magical and can't believe their luck.
Unfortunately the Albright took off most of the plating.........here is how it looks
And here is how it looks to my boys
