Heya everyone;

I got to snipe today and found a little bit of gold, a couple small nuggets and some interesting things.

The little lid is lead I think and it was gold plated, there is still some gold trying to hold onto it.

The large disk thing looks like some weird metal coin and I have no idea what the brass thing is.


In the last picture I added my nuggets from today to my "Bling" collection. lol

The largest bottom Diamond (No idea if any of them are real) is what I found last week, the largest nugget was also found last week and of course you guys know the rest of it.


So, any ideas on that lid or coin shaped thing?

More of the Bling container because it is just so damn pretty.

The smallest diamond is actually set in an 18k gold stud that is poked down into the foam.

Thank KCM

MyTimetoshine I do sometimes find diamonds while sniping, but only in this one swimming hole.
I found all 4 on bedrock too so I guess they are heavy enough to pass through the gravel when it floods.

They are not near the same specific gravity as lead or gold though so it is easy to blow them away by accident if you aren't paying attention.

I am going back up today to see what I can find.

I once found a ring with 2 rubies and 12 little diamonds on it. Various artifacts and Chinese coins are always a fun find.

Just a guess, could the little round thing be from a watch chain? (check out double albert in google images)
