Was able to get out yesterday afternoon for about an hour and a half and then about the same today. Found a total of 65 coins and a necklace of some sort..Came from a football/soccer field so figure it is just el cheapo....but it is my first..Tried a new program on the eagle spectrum and I dug more iffy signals...Guess I will dig the iffy ones for awhile now. HH all.
Sure hope that mariner link necklace turns out to be gold!
Let us see what it looks like cleaned up, ok?
Any markings on it? Gucci would be nice
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against
you till it seems you could not hold on a minute longer,
never give up then for that is just the place and time that
the tide will turn.
Nice finds...i found a sterling necklace quite similar to that one,and was tarnished as bad as that but it cleaned up very nice(was the easiest thing to clean i've found yet) i used Wright's silver cream...works well on gold as well
I kept on digging the hole deeper and deeper looking for the treasure chest until I finally lifted my head, looked up and realized that I had dug my own grave.

Just got your message and I am checking out your finds! You have got to let us know if the chain is real or not, either way I take off my hat to your finds. Like I have said, we need to get together next summer and doing some detecting for a bit. I can bring the boys down and they will have a blast.
Congrats on your finds.
Dig It, Done It, Love It..Man I love this Hobby with a Passion.
That Necklace looks like tarnished silver in the photo.
Brasso also cleans up the silver nicely.
Congratulations!

Thats what i was thinking,the silver one i found looked just like that,even kind of a black tarnish

Ok, I finally found a mark on the chain....It is definitely not gold...but I'm still a little baffled. It has the mark .923...Now I know sterling silver is .925 but never seen a .923. Any ideas?

I would think that would mean that it is still silver just not full sterling silver has some other adative in it
