Paranoia swept over me,I felt the sweat gather on my face, my heart was pounding,why wasnt my pacemaker working ?????? I dropped my pinpointer and probe as realization sank in as to what was in my hand. I got this overwhelming feeling that someone was watching me, a slow breath,I turned to look behind me , no one ,just some birds a squirrel,and the :icon_sunny: . FLASH BACK AN HOUR & A HALF : Went to my Cardiologist appt this morning,on the way home decided on the spur of the moment to stop and run the machine for a little bit. Glad I did ;D 3 1/2 to 4 inches deep, 7" of 14k gold,42 diamonds,5 carats,appraised today at over $2000. ,,,,,,, still in SHOCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o I didnt reach for my nitro,but I felt my Pacemaker slowing my heart down !! Thought the defibulator was going to hit me for a second :wink:. Think I'll take my Honey to dinner tonight,see how it looks on her 8)

That's a banner find...would be interested to know where it read on your machine?
 
I'd like to know what it rang up as too and where- You dont have to divulge the exact location but park? Beach? Hmm?

That's a great find.....What kind of area was it?
It was found on a narrow strip of grass about 7' wide along a creek at a small picnic ground,that is used heavily by tourist traffic.

Golly Durn, PikesPeakCharlie, fer sure thar's still gold in them thar hills of Colorado, but mighty nice that some turister done refined it for ya and tossed in them sparklers! Wow, what a find! BANNER! Andi
 
Very nice find, years ago I found one that looked just about like yours. At the time I was selling cars & got a call from a lady that had been in for a test drive, she asked if I could look in the car for the one she lost, I checked the car out and found nothing. On the way back into the dealership I saw a glitter on the ground next to a truck tire, there it was all most got run over but was returned in great shape.
 
That is an amazing bracelet! Congratulations on big gold and all of those diamonds!!!
 
What a find!! Congrats!! HH!
 
Wow!!!!!!!!! I found a third of a beautiful tennis bracelet a few weeks back and know how excited I was... but the whole thing!!!!! And look at the size of those rocks!!!!!!! Nice! Nice and real nice!!!!!!

I'd have to check my blood pressure after finding that one myself!
 
Found one myself a couple of years ago under a swing set. gave the wood chips a kick thinking I only had a pull tab or other junk. 10K with 70 5 point full cut diamonds. I was on cloud nine forever. (still am). Love the still in the ground pics. Great find
