Hello folks! My Grama had a bunch of old ugly jewelry that she wanted to get rid of. I gladly excepted it! I went through it all and found two treasures, a 10k broken chain (weighs less then a gram, worth around 16 bucks), and a silver earring. It was very interesting and fun to go through it...
I could tell you a big drawn out story but in this case the pics tell most of the story.
Saturday I found this Olan Mills pendent, it's not stamped other than the TM name, so I'm guessing it's plated. There's still a bit of glue from where I believe it would have had a portrait.

Yesterday evening I managed to get out for a short hunt just before sunset. I was going to hunt around an old church then realized it was Wednesday, which means folks would be at the church. So I thought to myself: The only other thing folks around here seem to take seriously is sports, which...

but I changed up my strategy- I decided put in more hours swinging the stick...

Finally Gold in 2012
So I went to this park I have been wanting to hunt for a while.
Shortly after I started my hunt an older man with a dog walked up and said "Do any good with that?" I replied I do OK.

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...
