I haven't posted in a while and the grim reaper brought me back.

I've had my new machine for about two weeks now. I purchased the AT Max. I've been hunting sites that I've hunted over and over and over again. I bought the Max hoping it would go a tad deeper than my old Minelab I've had for 20+ years. It's a very sensitive machine.

I was just walking in a straight line to change spots on a old football field when I heard a beep. I was digging every possible sound that day to learn my machine. I found this unusual pendant at about 5 inches.
It weighs 4.5 grams. Says 14k on the loop. It's definitely vintage. It has a couple of markings on the back. One says GUIZME and the other I can't read. Any idea on the guizme?

It reads 45-46 on the meter.

Nice gold find. Looks like your new AT Max will find a little deeper targets. Good luck with it.

45 - 46? ....that seems like a low reading for gold (compared to the readings on the AT PRO). I usually get that reading with aluminum and/or lead...but it's obviously not either of those. Interesting.

Congrats on the gold find! So what's your take, does the Max go deeper?

So far the deepest thing I've found is a 10" dime. I must say the signal was barely audible. The Max is very sensitive, much like a gold detector. I'm not sure if it's deeper but it picks up deeper items easier. That's a plus for me.

LOL. Funny that you ask. I have him on a gold chain around my neck as I speak. He'll stay there until my next find. I usually have a gold ring hanging there but this was too cool not to wear for a while. I like to put my latest gold find on the chain.

If that's an MS13 pendant, you may want to careful where you wear it. Might be risky. I have no idea if that's actually MS13 but thought it was worth mentioning. Super cool/weird/scary find.
