Back to the old park
Well I couldn't resist it,snuck back to the park again,and spent 2 hours (only 2 hours you say, some dummy didnt charge his batterys).Old pennys keep popping up along with a cool old brass suitcase lock,and a real nice 1922 shilling along with .925 silver ring which was at the depth of the pennys,so I assume it had been lost for a number of years.
Of to work at midnight tonight (bugga) hate that night shift,will charge batterys and try again tomorrow....cheers jim

I reckon we have all been caught with battery fade and just when you dont want it to. Congrats on the silver. If you had a head lite and you could hunt till work time :-)
ReplyDeleteSpare batteries + headlamp = unstoppable! Good going with the silvers!
ReplyDeleteIs the stone in the ring Lapis lazuli?
If it is Lapis whatzit it is a really cool rock.
ReplyDeleteWikipedia says:
Lapis lazuli has been collected from mines in the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan for over 6,000 years and there are sources that are found as far east as in the region around Lake Baikal in Siberia. Trade in the stone is ancient enough for lapis jewelry to have been found at Predynastic Egyptian and ancient Sumerian sites, and as lapis beads at neolithic burials in Mehrgarh, the Caucasus, and even as far from Afghanistan as Mauritania
Nice finds! Grats on the silvers :)
