Sometimes they put a real clasp on fake jewelry. I've seen it on .925 and 14k.

Bummer.

Tables turn occasionally. You lose, you win. Just sucks losing though.

Better luck next time.

Don't feel bad or have regrets 10 is not a lot I think you made a smart choice it was worth the chance this is what we treasure hunters do..Ive bought three sets of batteries and found one silver ring and all clad no silver coins that wasn't wasted money cause I take the chance that Ill find something good...if I don't I don't but I tried and its worth every cent!!!

I know $10.00 is $10.00, but I'm glad it was only $10.00 for your sake ! Could have been a lot worse. My crystal ball says you will make an amazing find soon, to get your karma back on track !.

There must be a load of these heavy stamped fakes out there! It has large flat links, its non-magnetic, and heavy. The edge of the links have the lest plating and will show a slight copper tinge at the right angle.

My son bought one for $10, knowing it was fake. I couldn't resist testing it just to satisfy my TH'ing side. It was indeed a fake. The son had good instincs.
He just got it cause it looked cool and its no big deal if he lost it.

Well you have invested $10 in the bank of knowledge, returns on that are extremely high, like a thousand percent! You get your payout soon!

Maybe we should post a picture, make it easier for people to spot one.

You rolled the dice on a 10 dollar bet. I use my metal detector to see what the content of metal. That's just me.
