Gold #9 and a New Designer Metal For Me

[JimDon]

I hit a well hunted site with the intent of digging gold signals. I got a 12 13 nickel signal and low and behold got a gold ring. It's a 10KT men's gold ring in rough shape. Fortunately I was able to fix it with my mandrel. It's my 9th gold of the year. I also got what I thought was a junk ear ring but after closer inspection noticed it was marked P4. I googled P4 and found it to be a Platinum, Gold and Silver alloy called Plantina 4. FIrst I have heard of it. I also got a nice bracelet with fossilized snail shells and it appears it has a silver clasp. I also got about $10 in clad. It was a great hunt

Good news. The bracelet tested good for silver even though it is unmarked. Sweet.
