All Treasure Hunting
I was off today so I decided to hit a local Forest Preserve and then a park. Funny thing is, this park is down the street from another detectorist here on t-net. My first find of the day (within 5 minutes of turning my detector on) was the 1899 Barber Quarter that I found in the trash infested woods. I thought to myself this is going to be a good day. ;D My second hit was the '46 Roosie, and then after about 2 hours of not digging anything, I got a strange bouncing signal on the E-trac 12-24; 09-09; 12-02. I thought for sure it's going to be a pull tab, but after not digging anything for so long I said what the hey. Out popped the gold bracelet(which I have to clean a little better). After that find, I went into my car and was gonna go home. But then I thought to myself I have a couple of more hours of sunlight, so that's when I went to the park that's down the street from the other detectorist, we all know him as treasurefiend. I did not expect to find anything but some clad. Boy am I happy I went there. my first few signals were some clad, and then he silver Washington. I figured it was already worth coming out here. Then I went to the corner of the park where it looked there was some structure in the past and I got a solid 12-06 signal that was pretty deep @ 9 inches. I figure it can't be a pulltab that deep. Man am I glad I dug! Out popped this beautiful 18k gold cross with 16-4-1913 engraved on the back of it. I just about soiled my drawers, thinking treasurefiend would have definately picked this up by now. (Thanks for leaving this for me champ) :thumbsup: This is by far my best find to date, and will be very hard to beat. I also picked up two wheaties at this park(who cares) I finally found me GOLD! Thanks for looking and HH! -Jonski

Awesome finds Jonski!!! The chain looks brass or copper but that cross is impressive! :thumbsup:

The bracelet is gold, cleaned it up and it looks great, i will post pics tomorrow. it weighs 10.61 grams, and the cross wieghs 6.16 grams.
 

I think finds like that with the date on them and 18k gold should be a banner find. That is freakin awesome. Man I would have passed out if I would have found that cross. Not to mention the coins. I am having quite the dry spell on old silver coins. Awesome finds my friend. :thumbsup:
 

Super finds !!!!

The cross is beautiful...

Great job sniffing them out of the trash...
