I Posted This In the Metal Detecting Section As Well-UPDATE

[piggman1]

This morning I headed to a park where I knew there would be a lot of clad finds, only to get there and find some one beat me to it. Seems like they had their detector set to reject pull tabs and nickels. That didn't bother me because I was after the gold rings that might be there. All the signals I got were pull tabs, shredded aluminium, and nickels. I had to empty my pouch once because of all the junkque, but that was OK. I found 18 nickels, a couple ofdollars in clad they missed, and a really nice gold cross that weighs just under an ounce. All I can say is thank you for not wanting to go through the effort of really looking, and being too lazy to dig the lower signals where the valuables hide. At least the park is cleaner and safer then when you left. This was one of my better nickel days, and I left with a smile on my face.

Nickels and gold, nickels and gold, they go together like soup and sandwich. Find one, find the other.

ANYtime you find something gold that weighs almost an ounce you have been more than succesful. Ounces of gold are not easy to come by...at least not very often and without a good dredge!

Here is what you loose if you notch out pull tabs and nickels. Took it to a jeweler this morning and the results were, it came in a few penny weights under an ounce, and tested at 22+K gold. The tester only went to 22K. Sure may dig a lot of extra trash at those lowere freqs, but the rewards make up for it.
