The Law Of Averages

[strick]

"the principle that supposes most future events are likely to balance any past deviation from a presumed average" 

 

Must have been a treasure hunter who ever thought of it. Got a nice 14K band at the park Saturday. 12.30 with the CTX 4 inches deep. I love it when the gold finally pops up after all the junk you  dig. I look at every older park and assume that there is gold in it somewhere....Heres to your next gold find

Wow, strick, look at all those pulltabs!  I'm envious. 

Honestly, I like ring-and-beavertail style pulltabs because their limited time window of usage (1965-75) is an age marker.  In some ways they're like finding lead when hunting for native gold.  I keep counts of all my pulltabs (including the hated 'square' tabs) from every hunt.  I'm going to write an article about them someday, but I have a lot of those mini-projects on the ToDo list, so don't hold your breath....  Not that anyone is likely to look forward to a writeup on that topic!

If that is the law, I am due about 1000 gold rings. The universe can pay up anytime, I am ready!

Ring is stamped "Always Forever Francis" on the inside of the band.

Several years ago I counted the pull tabs dug compared to the gold rings and the number was around 100 to 1.

In the goldfields here in oz we get about 10 nuggets to the ring pull.
