So, I headed back to the honey hole on our property that gave me the 1830's Half Dimes and other goodies. We've had some good rain lately, so I was optimistic for something of promise.
Got a solid signal, and after the pinpointer finally located it.... It was gold!! Just as bright coming out of 5" of dirt. I was confused at first then figured it out.... A gold tooth cap. I can't believe it but I'll take it. ;-)
Thanks for looking and HH!

Hey, gold is gold. I'll take a gold tooth any day.

Just clean it up and throw it in the pile. It all adds up.

Gold is gold! Congrats!

That's more than I'm finding lately! I've found grills (teeth kind) but never a gold one.
Gold sure is pretty in any form!
