Govalle Elementary, Visit #2

I had so much fun metal detecting at Govalle Elementary, I just had to go back.

Click here to see the previous post about my first metal detecting visit to Govalle Elementary.

This is the playground that I would be focusing most of my detecting efforts on for visit #2.


And here is episode #2 of my video blog, Don't Stop Digging! It contains all details of this hunt:


Here are all of coin my finds:








$4.77 total for the day! I'll take it!

And here is a really beautiful sterling silver ring that I found in the playground:


You can see the "925" stamp in this image:



I am very happy with my second visit to Govalle Elementary. I will definately be going back in the near future. I may not be pulling silver coins, but I am perfectly happy digging silver jewelry!

Thank you for continuing to come back and read my blog. I hope you will subscribe to both it and my YouTube Channel. By doing so, you can receive an email update whenever I post a new blogpost or episode.

I am really trying to do something different with my videos. While you may find tons of metal detecting videos on YouTube, you won't find very many that are meant to be "webisodes". I hope you enjoy both the metal detecting aspect and my humor as much as I have enjoyed making the episodes. And they should get better as I go. I think #2 is already much better than #1.

Thanks again!

Happy Hunting!

And don't stop digging!

My first jewelry find!

Even though it rained all last night, I decided to get out of the house for a quick two hour metal detecting hunt this morning.

I couldn't wait to share this with you - my first jewelry find!



This is a James Avery sterling silver ring. The hallmark and STER can be seen here:



I believe I have found the same ring on their website. Follow the link below:

James Avery Wide Crosslet Ring

$86.00 brand new! What a score! This one is definitely in used condition, so it won't be worth as much.

Amazon.com is currently shipping me this gram scale, so I will weigh the ring to see if the melt value of the silver exceeds the average eBay selling price for this ring in used condition.

Either way, very happy with my find!

Thanks to my co-worker Jay and wife Carrie for recommending the location! I've only metal detected a very small area of the dirt there, but it seems like good dirt!

The full details of the hunt and finds will be shared in an upcoming post... I'm going to head back tomorrow morning! (RG EDIT 2/5/2011: TOO MUCH RAIN, WILL RETURN WHEN DRIER)

Don't stop digging!
