Hi:hello2:,

Was out mid-morning today for 2 hrs., too late for low tide detecting .......hunted dry sand and wet shoreline.

I tell you, that "gold " chain looked soooooooo good at the edge of the shoreline, but as soon as I picked it up .....light as a feather???, I knew I had been scammed.:blackbeard: :BangHead:

Next time.....8-) :sunny:

But later , in dry sand I retrieved a small silver earring ...Jesus image; I was happy with this find.

Here's a couple of pics

Thanks for looking

Lorraine

Lorraine , the gold chain isn't hollow gold is it? hollow gold is very light.
the jesus earring would make a nice pendent.

I feel your pain with the chain, but a bit of silver is always welcome.

It's solid, Seeker.....and the gold test kit showed "not gold"; I might take one of the links off and check it further.

Been fooled several times by looks of gold that are not. I know how you feel. You did good on the silver. Hope your next is real gold.

I feel your pain, Lorraine. I pulled a half pound 16 inch "gold" chain necklace out of the water this morning. Nice color, ridiculous weight, and oh so fake. Why would anyone wear that?
