New Orlean's TREASURE And GOLD!

You know you can find GOLD ANYWHERE if you just look. I was invited to participate in a "junket" trip sponsored by Harrah's Casino and Hotel in New Orleans this past weekend. A junket trip is offered by the casino to people who have gaming play history at thier sites. (Yes, I've been known to play the slots.) The trip covered two free airline tickets from Charlote to New Orleans and the hotel for 4 days and 3 nights. Plus they threw in $200 in cash and $150 in meal vouchers. I asked my sister and a friend to go and we had the ultimate girlie weekend. Nothing like you see on Girl's Gone Wild, but we did have a marvelous time. So back to the GOLD. You know me, I'm looking for treasure everywhere and guess what? When we touched down on the runway in Charlotte, I was coming back home with GOLD in my purse! Here's the deal: I found two seperate 14K GOLD earrings on the ground in two seperate places while I was in New Orleans! One was quite heavy and the other one was loaded with nice sized pearls. I'm adding them to my stash of old gold that I'll be cashing in soon. I'd love to know how many people loose jewelry while in New Orleans. I'd bet you there are a bunch. A true treasure hunter knows that a key element of the hunt involves hunting in areas where people have been because people loose things and some of them are valuable!

The next time you're somewhere where there are a lot of people, keep your eye's open and you never know what you might find!
