Medical alert necklace?! Best day detecting so far.....

[Rings&bling]

Here are my finds today, just pulled them out of my pouch and haven't cleaned them up yet. The coolest thing is the necklace, which appears to be a medical necklace with a magnet to pull out. I will clean it up in a bit and repost what it looks like. The two small round things are a button and costume jewelry earring. I have NO idea what the metal ring thing is. It rang up high on silver, and I thought it was going to be jewelery. All in all, a good day, and I am pleased. Almost everything were surface finds to 2 inches within an area 30 feet by 40 feet. It took me two and a half hours to go through.

I want to thank everyone on this site who have been so kind and helpful to a newbie. Next week will mark two months for me in the metal detecting hobby!

Excellent hunt. It looks like you are digging everything, which is good. Pretty soon you will have an idea of what it is before you dig it, just from the sound.
Congratulations on your finds.

You just keep going the way you are...you'll do great. 😁

Thanks, Ogre! I am looking at all of the detectors in your arsenal, and it is impressive!

 

[Rings&bling]

I agree, adit. It is kind of like pulling a slot machine. Especially when I get the bell sounds!

Awesome day. Keep it up.

Thanks rook, I needed a good day. The previous day was a real stinker at a local county park. But I met a fellow detectorist who had just gotten a Minelab CTX3030 and he let me hold it.

Good job R&B ! At least you can still hunt , here in Santa fe ,NM. we just got hit with a big snowstorm and it's gonna be about 7 degrees for our low tonight/tomorrow morning.

 

[Rings&bling]

Yikes! That's cold! And here I was thinking tomorrow's temp of 43 would be chilly...(I am still going hunting). Stay warm!

Ok, here are two better pics of the necklace. One is with the little magnetic bar off, and the other is with it in. You can see a cross (medical symbol). There are no initials or info anywhere on the necklace, so it is not a medical alert necklace. What the HECK is this? Can anybody identify it?
