Found a gold bracelet today

[PatrickD]

Ok, not a bad morning out before the rain started. This was all found in one yard in about 2 hours.

I found a bunch of change ($1.20) (1 1950 silver dime and 1 1941 wheatie included), a ring and a bracelet.

The bracelet had this unusual color that I thought was brass. Kind of dull. I cleaned it when I got home and saw this stamp (14k). I took it to a jeweler and verified it is indeed gold WOOHOO. They weighed it at 12.1 grams. So, online lookup for 14k value = $293.85 at the current gold price. Not sure how to verify age of the bracelet though.






Cool huh.

Thats a great day. Curious what did the bracelet ring up as on ur ATP. Sound choppy at all? Vdi jump around at all

I just ran the AT Pro over my gold bracelet. It fluctuated from 80 and 85. Then, settled on 80. As near as I can tell, it is 58.33% gold and the rest copper.

Found this link on Wikipedia that shows the potential colors for 14k gold depending on what metal is mixed with it.

Colored gold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Time to head out there. (I always said the worst thing that can happen to a treasure hunter is they find something valuable. Then, whammo, that's all they do. )

The neighborhood has been there since the 1920's. Kind of run down. Not well maintained.

The house had been torn down and I went through the yard. The change was pretty much everywhere. The jewelry was on the inside of the back yard in the corner nearest the street and front yard. Maybe a clothesline had been there before.
