Now I get it

That’s a pretty ring I found this afternoon metal detecting. I’m pretty sure it’s not real gold or anything… but I don’t know because I lost it!

Normally, I put anything of potential value in a small zippered pocket. But this ring — for no known reason — ended up on my finger. Somehow in the process of taking my gloves on and off, I lost the ring. I got chased inside by rain, so I couldn’t go back and retrace my steps. Grrr!

As I approach my first full year of detecting, I’ve found maybe 15 or 20 rings, and each time I think “How did this happen??”

Well… now I know!

I still ended up with over $10 in spending money, an old British penny in terrible shape, a copper ring, and a silver Pandora heart charm that retails for $89.
