I bit off a bit more than expected this week while digging a reading when my new Fisher F75 sounded off in a golden way.
Based on sound alone, I expected a smallish find. Instead, I hit yet another freakishly large and toothy find. Years back I made a similarly spooky CSI-ish unearthing. This go'round, I wasn't quite as freaked as I slowly exposed what amounted to essentially half a smile's worth of, uh, treasure. The solid gold tooth made me smile.
Hey, you take gold where you find it -- though I'd still prefer the likes of nuggets and jewelry. As most folks know, dental gold is, well, golden. It is a very high karat
Sidebar: You might wonder why someone would get a gold tooth built into fake teeth. My guess is the wearer had formerly had a gold tooth in his/her mouth and didn't want to draw attention to needing false teeth, a bit of a social stigma. That's a little CSI-ing on my part.
