1st Find This Year! Rose GOLD!

[Michigan Badger]

Yesterday was my first chance to detect since the snow hit us. A lot of our ground is still frozen but I did locate a patch of ground where the sun had thawed it out.

I'm trying something new this year. I'm now using a 6-inch coil instead of my usual 10 and 15-inchers. I'm rehunting all my totally hunted out sites.

I dug this at 5-inches after digging several pieces of iron at 10-inches. It looks pretty nice but I can't get it away from my wife to have it checked. And I already had a cool spot in one of my displays for it.

I don't have a scale but that doesn't matter. It's here to stay anyway.

Oh well, just have ta find another.

Update: Just found out it's Rose Gold. Rose is a blend of gold and copper and has a pinkish-gold tone to it and can be mistaken for cheap copper.

I almost threw it away!

Hi Mike, It's great to be back. Man, this site is really growing! At this rate Marc will be up there with Gates soon!

Anyway, the fastener may have been replaced because the one on it now is totally corroded as you can see in one of the pictures. The chain is solid links and appears to be quite old. Due to it's length and age I was guessing the Flapper era. We've found lots of stuff at the site from that era. And too, near where I dug it there used to be a grove of nice shade trees. Maybe it was a "shady lady"

Hi to everyone and thanks for all the nice comments!

Hi friend,

My knee and back are doing better but I've got to watch it. I still have my very bad days. I've invented a new digger tool and will show it in another section of this forum in a couple weeks or so. I want to test it out real well first.

Yes, I'm still doing the Naughty thing. I sold the Nautilus IIB I had last year on ebay and bought another major brand but it didn't come close to Nautilus so I sold it a few weeks ago and bought another IIB.

The IIB with a 6 inch coil kills the goodies.
