Back in the same area as yesterday where I found the Platinum Ring. Got a very strong signal on the DF picked it up but nothing in the scoop. Target was in the scoop but is small and dropped thru. I try three times and can't find it:BangHead: Usually I'd walk away but for some reason I had to see what this was, it was a very solid hit. I sifted thru the sand by hand and find this little object that looks like melted lead. Just put it my pocket and kept going. When I got home weighed it and did a scratch test with 18K acid and it held. It's a gold filling! Sharing a few pics of it cleaned up. Looks like a little nugget to me...............
