24" 14k flat mariner chain 52 grams or 1.8 ounces

[Garbagebill]

Saturday my daughter and her husband wanted to go with me while I detected a local park. After finding quite a bit of clad my daughter wanted to try, her first 6 digs she collected 7 coins one hole had 2 quaters in it. So her husband wanted to try, I told him let's go around the basketball court, his first hole



was a 24" 14k gold flat mariner chain! Weighed it when I got home it was 52 grams or 1.8 ounces,



cleaned up pretty well but it could be cleaner.



Found a couple knives there as well. It was a great day and now they are completely addicted! I've warned them that the gold jewelry is few and far between but they have the fever lol. Just thought I'd share, thanks for looking. HH!

Great find... Though it can be a curse to dig something that good on your first hole!!!

Yea you're telling me... I found a gold ring within my first 5 hours of detecting and now I have the fever.

Well, I'd never take them detecting if they are going to find all the good stuff! Seriously, how nice that you had the chance to show them how much fun this hobby can be.

Agreed about the first hole thing. I tried to give it to them since they were the ones swinging the detector I only dug it for them, but they wouldn't take it.

Did you tell them it was worth $2300... They might have had second thoughts lol

 

[Garbagebill]

Lol, I did tell them they may be able to get $1300-1500 for it, but they are just like that. Lol

Time to find a helper detector if they are going to let you keep their finds.

Kodikblack, my first find was a MD 64 beer bottle cap. To be honest I was putting in 2 hours a day after work and 10 hours on Saturday and 10 hours on Sundays and it wasn't until I learned my detector before I started really understanding what I was doing. It was a good 80-100 hours before I had confidence to let my machine work for me instead of me working the machine, that will make more sense the more hours you put in. The main thing is just understand what your machine is telling you. It will all come to you soon enough,, HH my friend.

Found my first gold ring around a B-ball court. I love the sports field/courts lot of goodies around them.

Who took the gold home?
