14K Gold!

[KyDigNQueen]

Spent just a few hours detecting our 1800s field today. I decided to go a lot slower than normal since it is so junked with iron. I was too lazy to switch out the coils so I just went with the standard 8.5x11. The ground was still moist below the first inch due to all of the rain we had last week. First I found a round ball, then my next signal turned out to be my first true gold find, not counting my gold plated ring I found last year. I found a nice Good Year 5 year service lapel pin. It has 14k stamped on the back. I went on to find two buttons, a rivet from Carr Fast. Co circa 1912-1929, a possible screwdriver, a small bell shaped mystery item, and part of a sharpening stone. I'm very excited that I finally found gold and something unique at that! Thanks for looking and HH!

It sure did! I barely lightly brushes it with a toothbrush just to get the dirt out of the crevices on the front. It shined like crazy in the sunlight

Congratulations on your first real gold! I wonder about the age of the piece. I don't think they give out anything like that anymore.

beautiful gold piece, congrats on the 14k and may many more gold and silver come your way

Excellent, always nice to come home with the gold. You're absolutely correct. It is a 5 year service pin from Goodyear. They were made and awarded for every 5 years of service,
(5, 10, 15, etc.) You got yourself a genuine 14k pin.
Congratulations

Wowzers, your first true gold piece. Now that you cleared the high hurdle, the rest will be so much easier. Congrats to you Ms. Queen.
