Surprise! Gold!

I found this pendant on August 7, 2014 in waist deep water during the negative low tide.  There is no stamp, and it had some questionable tarnish, so I doubted it was the real deal.  Well, I just ran it through the gamut of acid tests and it held at 14K!

Prefer 2:1 Silver to Wheats

Short hunt last night at the same yard mentioned in my previous post.  Plucked a few more keepers out of the dirt.

16 Wheats and a Rosie

Managed to get out last night and detect the front yard of a house built in 1946.  There were signals everywhere and most were wheat cents dating from the 1940's and 1950's though there were two dated 1936-S.  I'm glad I was able to locate at least one silver coin; a well worn 1946-S Rosie.

.925 Italy Necklace

I found this chunky silver necklace on the upper slope near where I found the silver ring recently.  It is marked "925 Italy" and weighs a whopping 35.83 grams.  Total hunt time was around 90 minutes with my Minelab Sovereign GT.

Upper Slope Sweet Spot

Today I located an eroded section of beach on the upper slope.  Total hunt time was around two hours, during low tide, with my Minelab Excalibur II.
