Finally went detecting and was given the bird...Tweety bird!

[Msbeepbeep]

I followed WHADIFIND's sage advice to just go where I was led. I passed several places and ended up at a school I haven't been to in a while.

First signal a 66' nickel, a good sign. Second signal only 4 ft. from the truck, a Tweety pendant, the loop looked like gold, but Tweety was dirt encrusted, it was a solid nickel signal.
I figured GP at best, kept detecting, time was limited. Clad count was lower and trash was higher than normal, but I got out detecting And that was my goal!
Cleaned up Tweety later, what I thought was GP is...(drum roll please!)... 2" long and 5.4g of 10 K gold! . WOO HOO!!!

Undermined- Thank you! It was one of those, "Do I dare hope it's gold??!!....na! We'll just throw it in the pouch" moments.

A2c- Thanks! I'm glad Tweety was economy sized!

Treb- Thank you! I wouldn't mind a repeat...or several! :sly:. I wonder if it had anything to do with the New batteries I had just put in the M6? :what:

Thanks Tom! I'm glad I was able to get out after being coupled up in the house for over a month....somehow climbing the walls is not as satisfying. :sly:

Congrats MSBB! I guess if you have to flip the bird, it should be out of a plug and into your bank account! What a cool find. Sub

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Thank you Skippy! I felt the same!

Chris- Thanks! I have a lot of making up to get done! Lol! I am amazed at how solid the signal was.

Sub- Lol! Thanks! I never thought of it as "me" flipping the Bird, but I guess so! :what:

Awesome. Any Tweety Bird jewelry would be a good find, but gold has to be a rarity. Nice hunting!

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Thank you Susan! I was really happy with the first gold find of the year! I know you guys have told me the gold is in the water and that's where I need to be.
