Paranoia swept over me,I felt the sweat gather on my face, my heart was pounding,why wasnt my pacemaker working ?????? I dropped my pinpointer and probe as realization sank in as to what was in my hand. I got this overwhelming feeling that someone was watching me, a slow breath,I turned to look behind me , no one ,just some birds a squirrel,and the :icon_sunny: . FLASH BACK AN HOUR & A HALF : Went to my Cardiologist appt this morning,on the way home decided on the spur of the moment to stop and run the machine for a little bit. Glad I did ;D 3 1/2 to 4 inches deep, 7" of 14k gold,42 diamonds,5 carats,appraised today at over $2000. ,,,,,,, still in SHOCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o I didnt reach for my nitro,but I felt my Pacemaker slowing my heart down !! Thought the defibulator was going to hit me for a second :wink:. Think I'll take my Honey to dinner tonight,see how it looks on her 8)

That's a great find.....What kind of area was it?
It was found on a narrow strip of grass about 7' wide along a creek at a small picnic ground,that is used heavily by tourist traffic.

Very nice find, years ago I found one that looked just about like yours. At the time I was selling cars & got a call from a lady that had been in for a test drive, she asked if I could look in the car for the one she lost, I checked the car out and found nothing. On the way back into the dealership I saw a glitter on the ground next to a truck tire, there it was all most got run over but was returned in great shape.
