I detected a lawn area of a local school that surrounds a tennis court first today. I found the nice "Peace" ring, and a big bling pendant in the shape of a filigreed leaf. Also found a polished stone there too on top of the ground, kind of out of place...
I then went to another school with the old soccer fields that have been so good to me in the past month. I worked a sideline and got a scratchy penny signal (73) on the ATPro's VDI. I dig most all pennies and dug this one too. There at the bottom of the hole was a gold colored chain with a "diamond" pendant wadded up with what appeared to be a ring. The items were tangled and I just put them in the pouch until I could get them home for a cleaning and inspection.
The sad little gold ring was missing its stone. (It was not in the hole.) The plating was coming off and it looked like it had seen better days. None the less, the ring was the majority of what the ATPro hit on in the ground.
At home, I separated and cleaned the chain with the pendant and the sad ring. The sad ring was actually marked inside "14K GF ESPO." GF indicates gold filled or plated.
The chain, however was marked on the end clasp "Italy, 585 OE." Research indicates that these markings indicate the chain is 14K gold, weighing in with the CZ (probably) at 5.2 grams. Gold all thanks to the little sad ring...
Thanks for looking, happy hunting to all. Sub
