    First 2011 gold today!!

    Hi everyone. Took the day off work today due to a drs. appt. After a boring, grueling 3 hours @ the office (tests + new dr. = loooong wait... ), I was finally free around 2 pm. Hit a few local parks for a few hours. Only notable find was this nice 14k Italian white gold earring found on the surface (I thought it was silver until I saw the 14k mark). Pics below. Enjoy!!

    You gotta swing one of your detectors over it to make it "official"

    Actually, I did. I wanted to see how it would ring up on the E-Trac. It came up as a very slight "blip" reading 12/12-12/13. Had this been buried, I never would've dug it, thinking it to be falsing or trash.

    Great score Paul

    Doesn't matter HOW you find it, it's what's in the pouch at the end of the hunt that rules

    Not quite. I weighed it already. 0.8 grams. At today's prices, it should bring ~$20 @ the gold scrapper. Eh, it's gas money....can't complain...
