My first gold!

[heepiepow]

At least I think it's gold!

Detected at a local park yesterday and found a rectangular, slightly curved thing that says "14K" on one end. It doesn't look much like gold except a couple little areas. But near it I found a chain that has a similar glittery gold surface but much less weathered or something. Maybe they were from the same thing! Woohoo!

Also found a cool rhinocerous pendant, '77 dime with FDR's face surface eroded and pink, my oldest nickel yet a 1947-S and cool brass or something button. Here's a picture:

Looks like you found half of a gold bracelet, lawn mower got the other half.

No, it can still be gold, depending on the soil conditions. If the soil is acidic enough, it can effect the base metal they paired up with the gold. Take it to a jeweler and get it tested is my suggested

I'd presume its not real gold until you get it acid tested....

Keep @ it and HH !!

Thanks for the info about the gold and soil conditions. Anyone know how much an acid test costs? I hope it's real!

Ah! Thanks, I can picture it now. Had no idea what it was!

If a lawnmower whacked it maybe the rest went several feet from where I found it. I'll have to go back and recheck every single signal at best sensitivity in a bigger radius.

Hello,

You can go to a Jeweler/coin store or Pawn shop and they will Acid test it for you for free. You can also find them online for around $15.00 (USD) Make sure you don't buy an expired kit from some Auction site. Use the auction site to find out the manufacture and get it direct.

Keep @ it and HH !!
