Got out with a local detectorist at the park today and after enduring a ton of trash managed some gold and silver. Found a lot of change, some junk jewelry, a heavy silver ring, and a thin 14k gold chain I thought was trash because the locket on it was plated. Doesn't appear to be original to the locket. Glad I took the time to free the chain from the dirt without breaking it.

That was on the Deus one. Waiting to get paid to buy the Deus two
 

That's a lot of digging John, and it certainly looks like it paid off digging everything.
Congrats on the gold and silver

The little make-up brush will come in handy for brushing off the dirt on the next keeper. :laughing7:

How did the other guy make out yesterday?

Wooo hoooo !! Nice work John....your determination is paying off !!
Not today it didn't tons of pull tabs and then my sore body saying no more lol
 

A lot of digging but it looks like it paid off.
 

A friend of mine has found silver coins at Applegate before.
I've never found so much as a wheat penny there. Lots of zinc pennies and junk coins though.

looks like you are doing great man, wtg. I remember when you were gonna give up because you doing so much hunting without many finds. now you are crushing it. well done! and by crushing it, I mean a ton of pull tabs, can slaw and trash to find those hidden gems. peace out
 

Great finds, very nice collection of pull tabs and bottle caps. When I get asked what I'm looking for I like to tell people I collect rare and unusual pull tabs
