Well i've been on TN for about one and a half months now and finally have a find I feel is worth listing. I know it's not much but I'm sure feeling like I found the best I could hope to find.
MDing the chips at a local school yard, playground. I got a chirp under the monkey bars that usually mean steel. I found a 10cent piece from Aruba Sunday with just that sound. Grabbed a handfull of chips and ran them over the coil of my White's Classic ID, loud chirp. started dropping the chips on my trowl and suddenly there is this beautiful gold chain. First thought is "it must be clad" in the pocket it goes. 94 cents in clad later it's getting dark and I head home.
Wife asks if we are millionairs, nope I said "just quarterairs" go to my den and empty my pockets. I check the back of the medalion, just what I thought no mark. Then I look at the clasp that hold the chain to the medalion. 14k m Well I don't know if that means it's real gold or not but I will still think of it as my first.
Too bad I don't fell I can keep it. I will go by the school tomarrow on the way to work and leave it at the office. I just know some little girl is broken hearted tonight. I'll leave my name and number with it.
The Canadian 2 dollar coin gave me a cent/dime reading. Ok all you MDers north of the border, you could have told us about this little trick, how many pennies have we passed up that wern't? lolol.
Well now for the fun I will try to attache the scans I made of my finds. I left the clad out cause I hope we all know what they look like. I love this hobby. HH Stan...
OK Maybe I don't deserve the A+ behind my name. I will try to come back and add the pictures when I figure out how to make my scans smaller, I'm sure 8meg each is a bit too much. HH Stan...
