Hey, you're still breathing and can live to fight another day. That's a lot more than some people. Good finds, bad finds, it all works out...

It took me my fourth time to find a "REAL" 14kt Italy necklace. The first three were all fake 14kt marked necklaces. Got a fake 14kt cross also.

If it can be of any consolation to you, it still looks good.
Maybe next time MPP.

Hey MPP, Knock it off and toughen up! You are fortunate that you are capable to hunt. There is more fake stuff out there than real. It's only common sense.
You have nothing to be upset about. That's the way this program works. Forget that find and get it completely off your mind. That way you can focus on the next goal (a real one)
If the next one is fake, oh well. There are plenty others to find. Look at it this way, that one is not going to be found again..... and thats a good thing.
:)
Now get to it!

Junk jewelry abounds! Surely you don't expect everything you dig to be real do you? Toss the crap and keep the goodies, keep hunting.

Yesterday I found a nice gold wedding band. When I got home, I was able to read the inscription. 10k gold plated. Another big disappointment.

You have to take the trash with the treasure. A bad find is better than no find to me.
