Hello all! Got out for 2.5 hours today. I hit a local middle school that me & Jimdon have hit hard for a while. I found a lot of clad and junk jewelry, was about to call it a day and went under the goal post, got an odd 10 12 signal on the MXT. Thought it would be can slaw then BAM! This heavy 10k bracelet pops out! (20 grams) Definitely the largest gold I've ever found. I know we've been over the same spot before, glad I dug it! After finding this I decided to call it a day, doesn't get much better. Thanks for looking & HH!

I can't believe you dug that under the goal posts. I hammered that area hard. It made me realize that the stock coin/jewelry etrac mode I use blocks out the low numbers. I need to open up the pattern going forward. Awesome find. You are going to kill the finds board yet again. I'll be happy to straighten it out for you. Just bring it with you on Saturday.

I can't either, it's really got me thinking about what I should be digging. Thanks for the offer to straighten it out, I'll bring it Saturday

Hmmm, if the calculator I used is correct that amounts to over $400 in value for the little 10K bobble. Way to go!....63bkpkr
