A sweet eyeball find!
I gotta say pay attention while you’re swinging it could end up making your day. The Excalibur could not pick it up this herringbone yellow (no large clasp) WTF. Kind of wonder how many chains I’ve passed over. Still love my ex caliber!
But then again, big Jim reminded me that many Detector’s cannot pick up small chains!

That's a Beaut!!!

 

I have found a couple gold chains with excal overcthe years but they had fair size clasps and poor signals, but I dug them anyway.

Nice score on the gold.👍

I have only known a few machines that would, Long ago in a world far far away, (Spain) I had a Tesoro Stingray (the first one) and it would pick up gold chains in the wet sand... and just about everything else..
But then I got a Fisher CZ5 Quicksilver and in salt water mode it would walk over a Rope chain... and all the bracelets and small gold earrings... And most machines won't pick up Broken Gold Rings... I've had that happen several times...
I now use an XP DEUS I for playgrounds with elliptical coil, in 74 frq, and it will pick up most anything...
But useless in the wet salt water sand...
 

Nice 🧐 recovery on the chain.
Brother had a White's Alaskan (1978) with a 4" coil.
He seemed to be digging chains quite often.
We could detect them if we rubbed the chain on the coils.

My experience is, even if you seem to get them on an air test, if your not digging them, your machine isn't picking them up.
