Gold and silver (A silver dollar at that!)

[Finn74]

Well my buddy that overslept last weekend got himself out of bed this morning. We went to hunt the couple tiny parks that we were supposed to hunt last weekend. It quickly became obvious that no one had been to these parks for quite some time. I had myself a really good day pulling out $6 in clad along with some gold and my fifth silver coin of the year.
My goodies were:
A set of grills (10 or 14K white gold, havent tested yet), 1961 (?) Rosie, Leatherman micra pocket knife, a regular pocket knife, a womens Timex watch (wife said thank you), a kids 14K gold ring (#9 for the year), a junk shoe pendant (calling it that until I find out if it is silver) and about $6 in clad.
I was starting feel bad for my buddy as I was pulling all these goodies out he was getting nothing but clad and junk. All of a sudden I heard him say "I dont believe it!". I went to look at what he was staring at and in his hand he was holding a 1998 American Eagle 1 oz. silver coin in a protective plastic case. I would have traded everything I found for that one find!
Heres the pics of the loot. Enjoy and HH.

P.S. Has anyone else found grills? Havent seen any posted and this is the second time I foind them. Last time was just the upper part but thos time it was a set. Both since the beginning of the year.

Oh by the way I did have to ask a guy that was wearing a grill how on earth you would lose them. His reply was because of pot smoking... He explained that pot leaves a black residue on them meaning that they would have to be cleaned (pain in the rear I guess). So most people take them out when smoking and if they are outside just put them on their lap. Now they are high and forget about them being on their lap and Voila! we have some goodies left behind for us to pick up. (He said he had lost 5 grills in the last couple of years...LMAO.) This info was for you Mr. Fix. Hope it helps.

No way! Don't sell it for melt! That's your new lucky detecting grill. You should wear it on all your hunts. Please post pics.

Not selling it for melt. I talked to a friend of mine who said that if its not gold just about the only other thing it would be is PLATINUM(!). I highly doubt it but how cool would that be. Keeping it just because its my first white gold. And if I wore it I think my wife would leave me lmao. And I would have to bleach and boil them first....
