Scored my first gold chain Sunday. This 19.6 gram 24" beauty is well made. Sorry the picture isn't great.:camera: It needs a good cleaning as it appears to have been in the ground 20 - 30 Years and I had some doubts until it was tested. It came up at a strong +20 on my MXT Pro with a 4x6 coil, and was about 3 - 4 inches down Reaching into the whole expecting another pulltab, this was certainly a grand surprise especially since I was working with a Headache, a sore left Knee and a sore right foot. If it wasn't for this phenomenal find, the hunt would have been dismal. The clad count was only up to $1.50 and I was heading home when I got the signal.

The excitement is overwhelming. This is my 3 gold find this year, slow year, but my absolute best gold find ever.
It's also the final installment on my upgrade to the MXT Pro
A Mere 6 days after my birthday, a belated present. :occasion13:

thanks for looking.

This is the best Hobby.

You can clean that chain up real easy w/ a short (5 minute) soak in vinegar after placing some aluminum foil in the bottom of the cup. Rub it down afterwards with some baking soda. Rinse w/ tap water and dry it thoroughly. Repeat if necessary. (-WARNING- Don't do this with plated objects or the plating will come off!)
