Found some silvery stuff today!

Today was a wonderful 72 degree day so I had to hit a new park. I came across a nice high tone +88 on my dfx. I was thinking silver quarter. I cut a plug and swung it over and right away saw a little silver coin like object. upon dislodging it up I noticed it was part of a chain which was intact! I could have easily damaged it with the spade.

The chain is marked Italy 925, so is the charm and the clasp. after getting home I cleaned it up with soap and water. It weighs 66.3 grams (nice!). I have a question though. when I scan the charm only with my MD it reads +88 and the chain reads +33... I would have thought it would be higher being silver an all. Im 100% sure its sterling. it feels, sounds, and looks like silver. maybe it is not. but being 3" under ground for who know how long would have turned it black/green if it was plated right?

I have never found a chain before. If that is a normal number for silver chains I guess i need to dig more mid range tones.

I found a silver chain similar to yours a few years back , and in my experiance the VDi readings can vary with how it is laying in the ground as well as the different ground mineralizations..............nice find and hh......

Does it read 33 when the chain is in a tight ball?
