Same deal as yesterday overcast and cloudy. Just enjoying some time down at the beach working the dry sand. I only saw a piece of this chain sticking out of the sand. When I passed my DF over it it didn't make a sound???
So I kicked at it and this big chain bounced out. Still don't understand why the machine wouldn't pick it up? I thought it might be fake/plastic 3D made or ??? But it was heavy had to be metal.

When I got home ran my DFX and Garrett Pin Pointer over it and they both sounded off. It passed the scratch and acid test. Weighs in a little shy of 75g.

It's out there...summer's here!

Congrats on the chain bud! Is it marked 925? I would check it with a neodymium magnet just to make sure its not stainless steel. :occasion14:

Nice Chain! Worth kicking up some sand. Figure out why the DF didn't sound off? Good Luck!
