Another spot gives up more rings and a necklace!

[The Urban Prospector]

Went to a new location about an hour and a half away. Awesome looking swim area except only 1/3 was the main swim area with buoy's marking it and a small lifeguard deal. The other 2/3 was posted "no swimming" due to underwater hazards. Well I quickly realized that the main swim area was regularly hit after pulling the small 14k pendant and a few modern coins....Soooo I decided to check out the larger side thinking to myself that this surely has been swam in at some point with the nice beach and all. Well sure enough, it did not disappoint. Targets were plenty. Funny it wasn't hit by the same person who hit the main swim area. No complaints here though!


Managed to scare up 5 rings, two stud earrings, 3 charms/pendants and a nice sterling necklace.

The rings: one titanium, two plated copper, one stainless mood ring and an unmarked gold ring that I have yet to test.


For me it is always a neat surprise pulling up a chain. This one was in a knot and I believe that is why the metal detector picked it up. Came in at 52 on the AT Pro...thought that was unusual.


I started the hunt with the Excal II but the targets were so packed in that I decided to take the AT Pro for a spin with its small coil.

The sterling chain looks so neat with the tarnish (almost like black anodized) I think I am going to leave it as is. I rarely clean anything anyways.


Thanks for looking and happy hunting to all of you!

That's a pretty ring. Nice assortment of finds

Detectors are much more responsive to silver than they are to gold. You would have hit on the chain whether it was balled up or not. Unless the links are really knotted tight, I think the detector just sees individual links and not the whole thing anyway. Nice hunt outside the box......

Only thing I can think of is that there was some water logged wood debris, not much but apparently enough to cause them to close that portion of water.

Ive found 10 or 12 silver chains between 10 and 40 grams and they all read in the 40s and 50s...the only one that reads higher is a 92 gram monster that reads 78...your AT Pro will pick that chain up without it being balled up...it will easily pick up that clasp alone...test it stretched out and you will see.

Great hunt...always special to get a chain...congrats.
