In the same area as yesterday where I found the Platinum Ring. Got a real solid hit on the Dual Field in dry sand. Dug it up, it's in the scoop, shake it out and scoop's empty.
Tried a few more times and it keeps dropping thru the scoop. It was such a strong hit I had to find out what this is. Normally I'd walk away. I worked the sand with my hands and found this little piece of :icon_scratch: very heavy, brown in color. Stuck it in my pocket and kept going. At home I weighed it and did a scratch test with 18K solution. My wife looks at it and says "it's a filling!"...........It really does look like a little nugget.

Good Luck Out There
