My First Gold Find (That Almost Wasn't)!!

About two weeks ago I found my first gold after 2.5 years of off and on MDing. I didn't realize it was gold because it broke several times while I was trying to get it out of the hole and I assumed it was just some cheap jewelry. Well, yesterday I decided to clean out my backpack which is were I put my trash when I go MDing, I was originally going to throw it in the trash but I figured I would check it just in case. I cleaned the clasp and noticed some faded text. When I looked closer my heart almost stopped. The clasp read '10K.' I immediately started searching for every piece of the bracelet I could find and cleaned it all. The total weight was 16.6 grams of 10K gold. My girlfriend took it to a fine jewelry store today to confirm that it was in fact gold and I decided to sell it. I'm now $260 richer and even more excited for my new coil (10" x 14" Excelerator) to arrive this weekend. I found this bracelet with my Garrett Ace 250 with the standard 9" x 6" coil.

Was the bracelets links entwined with grass roots? Have seen that roots can be extremely tough at times! Nice find CARM

awesome hit on the gold chain
another source to cash in on your gold to bypass the middle man would be Midwest refineries 95% or ARA I believe 98%
at today's gold price that would be 361.68 minus 5% from midwest would be a 343.15 check for your gold...........

Yeah, I found out about them today. A little late now but it was found money so I can't be too angry. I'll use them next time.
