I dug so much clad my back hurt, but I did get a splash of 18k. Then I went to the old church and found a buckle. Good day. IMG_0836.JPG IMG_0835.JPG IMG_0837.JPG

That buckle is amazing! And gold is always fun. Also clad haul was good too. I'd say that it was an all around amazing day!

So I'm new at this. I did a couple hours hunting yesterday and only found a dime (asking with a ton of bottle caps). Provided you have a target rich environment how long does it take you to find that much clad?

I went to a virgin park I would say and it was in the play area that had that wooden mulch. It got to the point where I was skipping over pennies and debated picking up another dime...which I did. Location Location Location

Wow ! Nice on the gold , but the buckle is a real Gem !! Very evocative of 1930's/40's- Sweet !

Really!! Can you tell me anything else about it? I'm surprised so many are addressing the buckle and I thought just a kids buckle. I did find it at a 1920"s church.

Gold! Was it a ring? That old buckle is the coolest looking thing!:headbang: You killed the clad too. Great hunt.

Are you sure the gold is real? Just don't see too many real gold pieces with pasted in stones ?? Nice buckle

Hey Turbo I tested it and it held up 18k and it even held up 22k with a small amount of smoke at first. It's very flexible and soft too but the diamond looks fake to me but I'm no jeweler. I can tell you it wiped clean out of the wet mud, but it isn't stamped. Are those gold testing kit reliable?
