Spent a couple hours this morning at island lake state park. Some of the picnic areas are..well a trash pit, no better way to describe them. I put on the 5inch coil I picked up with my cz, even with it on so many overlapping targets..sheesh, but I love a challenge. I dug a ton of trash not pictured, and a bunch of shell casings.
I prevailed at the horseshoe pits, in digging a bottle cap signal, I re checked the hole then out popped a tiny little padlock..with diamonds or cz's I'm guessing diamonds since the only marking on it is 950 and I think that is platinum!..so yeah that made me pretty stoked to find . for as small as it is, it is very heavy.

Very nice congrats!

I haven't found any platinum yet. I did have a relative wave her hand with platinum rings under my coil to see what reading I would get, just in case I ever run across Plat. Read like gold but stronger tone.

You guys need to get one of those thin flexible long grabbers for retrieving stuff from the disposal, that and a good flashlight works.
 

the lock could of came from a hermes purse,think that is how you spell it.i have seen some at sales with locks on them,neat find
 

Amazing find.
It really PAYS to dig those trash signals. That's something I'm really learning after finding an old coin beneath the trash/pull tab layer.
I really hope it turns out to be platinum. Diamonds wouldn't hurt either.
Congratulations on a cool find.
 

My hand gets mighty sore retrieving stuff down there!!!!!!!

That's what the wife is for. Had to have her bail me out on a few disposal drops. :)
