585 gold ?

[Blak bart]

In case you didn't know... gold marked 585 is 58.5% gold, or 14k ! I've gotten a few items this year marked 585, and I thought they were trash 🧐😳💩 but, it turns out there good stuff and the same as 14k !! Wood hooo !!

Here's a good explanation of the mark and how it's used....now I've got to round up all the 585 I threw in the costume jewelry jar !!🤑

I haven't posted much this summer but the Bahamas, and especially at Atlantis resort was sensational. Silver gold and platinum were good for the short time I was there

That's an awesome bunch of finds. You find more goodies in a season than most people find in a lifetime.

Is the frog bracelet marked/tested?

Either it says 14k, or 11k...which I've never seen before?

It's a real nice find ... eyeballed on top of the reef at Atlantis resort within 1 minute of entering the water at the "cove". Glow in the dark enamel over gold with garnet (I think) eyes !!

Been slacking on my weights...need new Batts for scale. Spent 2 days at Atlantis resort on the way over to long Island Bahamas. Got some silver in the dry sand. Then 3 weeks later spent 2 days in the water at Atlantis resort, and it was mind blowing 🤯....first day in the water was OK, Second day I found the "ZONE" and it was crazy...old stuff too...ships spikes,and other old shipwreck stuff mixed with fresh drops. Tons of other costume jewelry and coins, and trash !! Awsome reef with all sorts of fish, shells, and rocky trenches and caves !!

• No metal detecting is not allowed in the Bahamas. It is an offense punishable by 7 years in jail and the lost of your passport.

Did you find ALL that by eyeball ?? 😳

No just the big frog bracelet....it was shining in the sun on top of the reef in 4 foot of water. I hadn't been in the water for even a minute before I saw it. The rest was in the shallows with the detector where the sand stops, and the rock begins....I did eyball some coins, and junk jewelry too. That's the good stuff from 4 long days....1 on land in the dry sand, and 3 more in the water. For the people who don't know, water hunting at Atlantis resort in the Bahamas is one of the best spots to water hunt in all the islands !!

That info is wrong

Just like Florida there are does and don't, and hunting historic sites and shipwrecks is off limits....hunting beaches from low to high tide and certain water areas is fine and many do !! I personally have never been questioned, but others have had problems....but lots of people detect the Bahamas....I only speak for myself.

Thread 'Bahamian pirate gold' https://www.treasurenet.com/threads/bahamian-pirate-gold.655615/

Just sayin .... I also have 30+ years in the game, most of them in the keys, Bahamas, and carribean.

I backed off posting this kind of stuff here on t-net , because of this constant confusion, this is 4 days worth of hunting (none of the costume jewelry or coins and trash)....it's not as easy as it looks, and there are many things to understand on top of the laws....surge, waves, hunting reef and rock, snorkel hunting, vs sand hunting, where the zone is that recoveries can be made vs unrecoverable areas etc etc etc. If it feels risky, and you think your gonna break law don't go !!

Silver, and gold plated silver

Gold 14&10k

Platinum...my favorite to find.

The 14k frog braclet.
