Sorry if this is a little long...I'm just excited!! I paid a visit to a large park in Brandon this afternoon...about a 20 minute trip up the road from me. Instead of heading straight to the tot-lot like I usually do (pretty much to guarantee me some clad), I decided to venture out into the large field, where I could put to use my brand-new Garrett ProPointer! 
I saw some large trees out in the middle of this field, and headed straight for one of them. I swung my MD nice and slow, and had my sensitivity cranked all the way up (afterall, digging and pinpointing would be much less painful, now that I was packing my NEW Garrett ProPointer)! 
I got a strong signal at about 4". Out popped this bracelet with a heart charm on it! At first, I thought it was a dog collar, since I'm used to pulling up crap, and never hit silver. I took it to a jeweler on my way home, and they confirmed that both the bracelet AND the charm were both .925 silver (15.1 grams total weight)!! (when I got home, I looked for the marks, and found both of them). I also pulled up a nice ring, a heavy one, with the initials "PD" inscribed on the inside. Unfortunately, the jeweler told me that it is NOT silver. 
I really had my hopes up on that ring!! I just found out the initials inside "PD" mean "Palladium". Oh well, a great day MD'ing indeed! The last two pictures of the ring were taken after I got home and cleaned it up really good, and the very last picture is both my ring and bracelet looking all shiny after their bath. It really is a pretty ring!! Happy hunting to you all!
