Got out and hunted a middle school about 45 minutes from home . I had been there once before about three weeks ago and found a bunch of clad . After about an hour or so Ryan , ( eagleforce ) and his buddy Tino joined in on the hunt :thumbsup: . We were all just finding clad and lots of youth transit tokens . I did find ring #60 for the year but it was just a junker :BangHead: . Then came a couple of wheats , 1946S and 1958 . I had been at it for 3 hours and was ready to call it a day when as I was saying my good byes to the guys I had a +12 at a 1/2 inch . I kept talking to Ryan as I dug it and then I saw it !!!! BIG GOLD BRACELET ! :headbang: It caught me off guard , I couldn't believe it ! It is a 10K gold man's bracelet that weighs 17.60 grams ! Biggest gold I have found in a long time ! After all that I called it a day :thumbsup: Total clad was $6.60 .

That'll work.

I can see it now...
Summer time older kids...
Playing football on the empty school grounds...
Goldie takes off from the line with the eye arm wave...He went out for the pass... catches it... makes the stellar run for the end zone... and BAM his buddy nails him from the side...
Knocking the ball free...
And bracelet went flying...
Guy went home crying... B itching about how he almost made that touchdown... and how he lost his ($280 my guess at time) bracelet that he paid on layaway for 2 years.

:P

Beautiful. I would run a test on it though, lots of fake gold has the karat and Italy mark on it.

Awesome gold bracelet! Congrats! Bet there was a threesome happy dance when you pulled that one up!
So far when I get that reading it's foil!

You are correct-AH-mundo on that one...
But you can tell from plug that ones been in awhile... looks older... and that link was real big in 80's-90's...

This "fake Italy" thing has been recent years... and really hard in last 10...
Just like Tiffany And Co.
Check it all...
I have a massive deuce ouncer herringbone I found... Italy 14k...
Its a stellar fake.
Looks and feels so good... it has fooled everyone who has touched it.
