Got out with a local detectorist at the park today and after enduring a ton of trash managed some gold and silver. Found a lot of change, some junk jewelry, a heavy silver ring, and a thin 14k gold chain I thought was trash because the locket on it was plated. Doesn't appear to be original to the locket. Glad I took the time to free the chain from the dirt without breaking it.

That's a lot of digging John, and it certainly looks like it paid off digging everything.
Congrats on the gold and silver

The little make-up brush will come in handy for brushing off the dirt on the next keeper. :laughing7:

How did the other guy make out yesterday?
