    It was under/near a set of swings ( the 3 Sacs), I had gotten a half earlier that day, and those are tough cause they are large and no one has them to lose.

    Found a bunch of those at first I was leaving them behind, then I was sending some to a friend of mine and his kids. I kept one. Solid brass. Took it apart cleaned it out, (dust and dirt etc.) WD 40, put it back together, and now it spins like crazy.

    Went out this morning. I searched a 100 sq ft area, and my hand shovel broke had to call it a day. The first wheat for me in a while.

    Found another small silver ring today. It was a very good hunt, but they are locking up my good spots 1 by 1.

    I found another ring in my junker pile. It is stamped 925 EC but I think it's good. The 925 is upside down at 12 o'clock.

    Nice little scrounge today. The wheatie is 1947-D undamaged.
    The medallion says: 40th anniversary of commercial aviation in Albuquerque.
    1929-1969. So if it really is from 1969, that's kind of cool. Although when I pulled it up I was hoping it was an Eisenhower.

    It wasn't too dirty but I did use toothpaste. IDK what it is, copper or brass. I will try to look it up. The penny which looked nice was damaged on the reverse. w/e
    Wow someone wants $22.50 for it on Etsy.
