St Petersburg, Florida
Detector(s) used
Tesoro Tiger Shark
Hit a beach I havent been to before, Ben T Davis Beach which is 10 mins from downtown Tampa.
Seems like it has been hit hard as I only found 9 cents in clad after 3 1/2 hours of hunting.
BUT.. found my very first gold! small earring marked M14K. ;D

Had alot of "rocks" I dug up that were setting my detector off..after tossing several I broke the edge off of one and got a little present inside and kept the rest I found...

I'll let everyone take a wild guess what was in the rock pictured and show what it was later :)

cheers,

Congrats on the gold! Did you find a Spanish cob in that rock? HH, Mike
 

nice finds!
ehh, is it a ear ring in the rock?
 

Melted beer or soda cans from a party I'd imagine? HH/NS
 

not an earring and not melted beach trash :)

The clue: your house has one, your car has one, and so do num and caps.

The correct guesser gets 20 rusty bottle caps from a warm florida beach. ;)

good luck
 

Marty,

think you got it.

Well it looks to be "GOLD" ???
Diggs has guessed a ( key ) and only half right. :-\
I'm not sure what a num is.
But i'm going to guess that is
a senior high school key from a neckless. ;)
Nice finds Tho.

It did look gold until i busted the rock up and the cheap plating came off.
It may have belonged to a senior in high school...:shrug:
thnx for trying tho :)

I may have to award it to MartyG on a technicality..few more guesses and Ill give the answer.
