Trash hidden bling...Platinum ?

[BC1969]

Spent a couple hours this morning at island lake state park. Some of the picnic areas are..well a trash pit, no better way to describe them. I put on the 5inch coil I picked up with my cz, even with it on so many overlapping targets..sheesh, but I love a challenge. I dug a ton of trash not pictured, and a bunch of shell casings.
I prevailed at the horseshoe pits, in digging a bottle cap signal, I re checked the hole then out popped a tiny little padlock..with diamonds or cz's I'm guessing diamonds since the only marking on it is 950 and I think that is platinum!..so yeah that made me pretty stoked to find . for as small as it is, it is very heavy.

Very nice congrats!

I haven't found any platinum yet. I did have a relative wave her hand with platinum rings under my coil to see what reading I would get, just in case I ever run across Plat. Read like gold but stronger tone.

You guys need to get one of those thin flexible long grabbers for retrieving stuff from the disposal, that and a good flashlight works.

Amazing find.
It really PAYS to dig those trash signals. That's something I'm really learning after finding an old coin beneath the trash/pull tab layer.
I really hope it turns out to be platinum. Diamonds wouldn't hurt either.
Congratulations on a cool find.

My hand gets mighty sore retrieving stuff down there!!!!!!!

That's what the wife is for. Had to have her bail me out on a few disposal drops.
