I found gold and silver. The Teddy bear bracelet was an eyeball find and was half buried in the sand, I thought it was plastic and went in the
junk pouch. The earring i thought was fake and actually, showed it to the beach sweeper operator and he told me, " how did i know it was not gold" I
assumed it was not gold because the clasp was not flat and had found similar earrings that were junk.

Anyway as I was sorting the junk I notice the bracelet had a stamp got the eye loop and sure enough 925+1/11 10K GMI. The next day I'm in the garage
and see the earring and decide to take a closer look with the eye loop and to my surprise its stamped 10K. I will be double checking my junk from now on.
Made up for the skunking I got this weekend about $5 in clad no keepers.The maintenance guy told me he see's someone detecting just about everyday and it not a large
beach. These would have been in my last post, they were found the same week.

HH, Epi
