mixed bag tonight. Little silver, gold and some fake silver

Howdy all,
Today was real sporadic as far as hunt time goes. I took Mrs. JuJu to her pre-surgery checkin and dropped her off. She has 7 days to go till they chop out the old hip and give her a new one. I decided to wait for her call and do a little swingin at the school up the street from the hospital. I was only pullin a little clad and trash, but managed to eyeball the small 10k pendant. The stones are tiny but test real. Fast forward to the evening and I finally had some more time to hunt. I hit one of my favorite fields and managed a few keepers. The hoop earring is the second one like this I have dug. I got the first one last year about 20 miles away. The cross looked awesome in the dirt but didn't hit right on the MXT and felt lite weight for silver. When I started cleaning it the silver started to flake off and expose copper underneath. The clasp was the only thing silver, and I acid tested it to be sure. So I cut the clasp off and added it to my loot pile. I have dug several gold pieces like this but never a silver. I call it Swap Meet Louie, lol. Not a bad day at all for as little time as I had to hunt. All total I think I only got 2.5 hours combined. I also got a junk ring, and a medallion that had me goin for a minute. Thanks for lookin, and luck in the hunt.

Looks like a great day. Does that pointer work pretty well? I'm thinking about buying one, but don't have much info on them.

You rock, Juju!

I tell ya, our parks down here seem to be bone dry when it comes to jewelry. Nice job on all that bling.

The pro-pointer is the only way to go. Sensitive, great battery life, progressive tone and vibration. As you get closer to the target the tone will become increasingly louder and solid. These things are awesome.

Another good hunt JuJu. Glad to see you posting again.

The clock is ticking and only seven days left. Find as much treasure as you can in such a short time.

Mrs. JuJu is going to need you after her surgery. You're going to need to be there for her. I'm a long way away, but if there's any I can do from here, all you have to do is ask.

Good Luck
Randy
