I just discovered a park that has literally been an 8 min. walk from my house...I hadn't noticed it because I leave my neighborhood the other direction...(found it on Google Earth). Went down to hunt for a couple of hours and came away with some clad,( 12 pennies, 3 dimes, 3 quarters), a rhinestone star necklace, some "gold" front teeth (not sure what type of metal it is), part of a bracelet that seems like silver, two steel balls, for what I have no clue, and to top off the day, a gold 750 stamped bracelet!! While at the park several kids came up to ask what I was doing...as soon as I told them, they all wanted a chance to swing the detector..I gave each of them some time using it, and each of them got to find some things....there was a penny, a dime, and a small toy car! They all said thanks, and in the end, hopefully some of them will get the bug as well!
Thanks for stopping by and looking.
Sean

Nice gold!!! I have never seen it stamped like that before. But I really don't pay that much attention to it unless I dig it up LOL

Neat finds, Baggins! I love the gold bracelet, it looks like it's in great shape.

That was a nice gesture, letting the kids use your detector. I'm sure you planted the seeds today for a future detectorist. That child (or children) will never forget today or you.

That gold bracelet is a Chanel. Made by Chanel. Could easily go on eBay for
$500.00 bucks!!!!!!!! That is a NICE find!!!! If the clasps are broken, it would
be well worth fixing. WOW!!!!!!!!! I'm green with envy!!

That is one very nice 18k bracelet you found there. The teeth are a bit odd but the are obviously gold caps and probably 19k to boot! All in all that is one heck of a haul. Bracelet is definitely worth some bucks but I think I'd keep it!
Nice job!
