I met up with my buddy to do some hunting at an old park. I was taking a short break and checking on my son at the play ground. On the way back to the car I seen a glimmer in the grass near a basketball court. I totally thought it was a piece of confetti, when I kicked it I noticed a gold cross. Seeing that the loop wasn't broke I started grinding out from there, after about 5 minutes I found the chain about 8 feet away.
Best eye-spy find I've found yet.

Cross is 14K @ 1.1 grams
Chain is 10K @ 4.7 grams

Thanks for looking!

WTG on the eye find, have yet to ever find any gold alloy chain here, hope it does not have that infamous "Italy" stamp.

I know exactly what you mean... I've been had by the infamous Italy stamp lol
Luckily this is Mex 10K and thankfully passed the acid test.

Someone probably got into a fight and the chain was ripped from his neck.
