WINNER #1
My favorite find for April 2011 goes to Ron W. of Annapolis, Missouri.
Ron discovered this one-of-a-kind gold locket belonging to General David Grier who was living in St. Louis following the civil war. This personalized locket bears the inscription “Presented to Gen D.P. Grier by P.D.Y.E. May 1877.” Ron and the Ft. Davidson Historical Site Administrator both think that General Grier may have been touring the battlefield on some anniversary of the battle and lost the locket. Ron frequents the battlefield areas with his Garrett detectors and found this historic beauty at the base of an old oak tree at the summit overlooking the battle site.
Congratulations to Ron W. for sharing this lovely locket story with us.
Ron WINS a Garrett PRO-POINTER®!
