First Gold!

[Theakiki]

I went out for a hunt and got a late start. My heart wasn't in it, and I wasn't trying very hard. I found a bit of clad and some junk at one site, then moved on.

I checked out another spot that was so trashy, I didn't even try to dig, and thought I'd just go home.

Took a detour and drove past a spot that I haven't had much luck in, and decided to pull in, and poke around for a few minutes. Dug some trash in hard packed clay, reaffirming the thought to go home! Meandered down the hill a little and I got a signal that was bouncing around from pull tab, to various coinage, then when I dug it, I thought that I probably found another piece of junk jewelry, but at least it was interesting!

Saw some marks on the back, and I could make out 12 kt, but I thought, it must be plated at the very best.

I did go home then, and when I got home and started cleaning it, I figured out what was really going on!

Hoo-ray!!

Fantastic!! Those places that dont ever get respect seem to be the ones that turn up good digs just about the time you start to give up on them.. Nice Gold,

Thanks a lot. I'm really pumped about it!

It seems that St. Michael is the patron saint of Police Officers. So, the image is that of St. Mike, and a cop!

Cool!
