Howdy all,
I didn't even think I was gonna squeeze in a hunt today. But managed a little over an hour before dark. I hit the field that kicked out the nice gold bracelet the other day. This field is used heavily by soccer players, and is loaded with targets. Unfortunately most of them are canslaw. The clad is still pretty thick though and the chance for gold seems to be better than average. I had expected this little piece of gold to be canslaw. It was a couple inches down and real rattly on the tone. Either way it turned out to be 10k and only 1.3 grams. Still counts though. I love it when fields produce like this. I haven't dug any silver from this field yet and already have 2 gold. I figure it will take me more than a month to cover this one completely. In an hour of hunting I pulled almost $6.00 in clad as well. And it has been this way for the last 4 hunts. I am headed back tommorrow if all works out. Wish me luck. Thanks for lookin and luck in the hunt.

Nice find but I think it is plated. I am not 100% certain by L10K I believe means Layered 10K. I hope I am wrong.

Thanks Jim. I don't beleive the L stands for layered. It is on the other hand 2 pieces sandwiched together. I acid tested it at a strong 10k. And anytime I test a piece I file into it before I ever rub it on the stone. Thanks for your concern though. I have had too many junk pieces to ever post before I am sure.

That's great news. If I could only find gold. I wish I could take some of your MXT secrets because you are a gold killing machine!

Hope your diggin is producin for ya. I picked up a few local bottles the other day. I never seem to be on the ball for fresh digs, but buy em when I find em. Seems like even though I live here it is getting tougher to find Tacoma bottles anymore.

Cool find, Juju. La Virgen de Guadalupe. My wife Maria and step-son Aaron recognized it right off, and said it's not worth that much monetarily, but it's worth a whole bunch personally to whoever lost it.
