If I'm right he pulled it sometime last year (he works the beaches). I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the post. I'm guessing he just got it appraised.
I just wonder how the hell someone loses something that size and that valuable :icon_scratch:

Thanks :icon_thumleft:

So he found a $30.000 necklace and no body reported it lost :icon_thumleft: would have thought it was very easy to trace the owner.

I wish everyone would stop asking me that! I've only got 11 detectors. There's lots of ways I would come up with a chain like that.

Obviously if you post something like this on a treasure hunting website people are going to ask if you found it.

If you found it then this is the best score ever and should be on the banner for sure.

I don't care how many detectors you own, sounds like more boasting to me. Maybe if you would have correctly posted some added info. (you know, the "rest of the story") then people wouldn't ask such an overtly obvious question. You can't just come on here and post a $30k chain and expect people not to ask where or how you acquired it. If you did post this last year, as another member suggested you did, then you should have posted the link to the story. I mean really dude, think about it. Geesh! Get over yourself.

Holy crow! I'm not boasting--just trying to indicate that I live and breathe detectors. Besides, having eleven of them just means that you spend a lot of time at the post office. Ya, I found it, going right in behind pros who work the same section every day. I did post the "story" and thought THAT would be the mark of a blowhard--to go over it again. I'll say this: It came from in a lot of iron working with a DF--basically by way of tuning, listening and coil control. I credit a few things I learnt from Craig PI, Mike Robinson / Jim Pugh and a few others about how to use a PI --a lot of practice, and a lot of digs. These are the basics that I try to teach in my books--if you do things properly for long enough in the right place... The site it came from has very complex patterns with the classifiction of targets and the way sand is exchanged. I like where it gets more solid as the draw starts--not the mush at the bottom. I look for scalloping in this first part of the incline--stuff coming out of the hill. Got a tiny signal, compared it to my tester (6 gram) sounded about the same, dug and thought: look at this ugly stainless chunk of crap! It sounded "clatterey" like the fake silver they sell on the beach in Cancun (not from there). Anyhow got it home and it scratched 14K and I decided to keep it. It had been down long enough for the spring to rust out.
...did I find it...yer hurtin' my feelings...
Picture shows a few more of my finds for that year.

Thanks for the rest of the story. It doesn't and wouldn't have made you sound like a "blowhard". :thumbsup:
