Went to Huntington City Beach for a couple hours early today. I noticed the other day there was a dozer pushing sand away from the Lifeguard Towers and in some places he pushed up to two feet of sand.

Just as the sun was rising, in front of one tower within three feet from one leg of the tower, I hit my first gold necklace with my AT Pro. It's says 14k and Italy on a tag on the connector and has what I assume a small diamond in the small gold heart (2.42 gr total). If it wasn't for the heart on the chain, I doubt it would ever have found the chain.

I also found around other towers, a little wheel shaped thing full of stones, that I have no idea what it is. Must be from some type of jewelry. My first Euro coin (1-cent Euro), and other miscellaneous costume jewelry along with clad not pictured.

I know what some of you are thinking. I didn't use the ATX this morning because Huntington dry sand is fairly trashy, the tide was high, and I'm not proficient enough with it in the light, let alone in the dark :)

Thank for dropping by

Ditto-had to work and it's raining. Congrats on finding the gold necklace!
Same with my detector, it probably wouldn't find it unless something was attached to it or it was in a heap, how often does a necklace fall in a heap!
 

Congrats.Gold is always sweet.HH.
 

Awesome SoCal! Very nice finds! Thanks for the invite to join you and the Doc for a little hunt!
