My biggest gold yet!!

sabresfan · Jul 27, 2010

Went out to a small park after work to relax and do some digging, I was finding a few coins and decided to hit the tot lot. I found a couple quarters and a dime , all clad, when I got a solid VDI of +35. I thought I was too close to the monkey bars so, I used my pro pointer to be sure and I uncovered this beautiful mans chain. I thought it was silver at first, when I got back to my car, I was able to get a good look at it............... Score!! GOLD!! It weighs in at a whopping 38.2 grams of 14K gold! Anybody have a idea of its worth before I take it to be appraised? Thanks for looking!

Very nice find....follow the steps on this link and you will have the value:

Scrap gold dealers will likely buy the gold from you at about 10 to 20 percent less than what it's actually worth since they must process it and still turn a profit from reselling it.

Very cool! That's my favorite design. A quick 'n dirty number is $20 a gram for 14k on eBay.

The Bills seem to be playing more and more games up here in Toronto each year. I know they've been pressuring The City of Buffalo to replace Rich Stadium. The reason that we can't get an NFL team here is because we're only 1.5hours from Buffalo, NY. >:(
