Took the kids to the playground at the school close by today for a little bit and found my first gold. I had made up my mind before ever getting out of the jeep that i was going to dig everything above an IRON ID. This was my second "pull tab" hit and turned out to be a 24" 14k ITALY chain. SWEEET! Also my 4 year old kept asking for my pro pointer so i gave it to him walking back to the jeep and he turned it on and stuck it to the ground, and ill be damned if he didnt get his very first find (i had to help dig it of course). great day for both of us.

chain is pretty sweet! There are a lot of fakes out there, probably not a bad idea to get it tested just to be 100% sure

You sure had a good day. That's why I dig all my pull tabs. Never know when it will be gold.

Sorry it turned out that way, but at least you had a nice time out with your little helper. I find that my ProPointer is like a magic wand when the kids are around. They all want to find treasure with it!
