Gold and silver at Applegate Park

[JVA5th]

Got out with a local detectorist at the park today and after enduring a ton of trash managed some gold and silver. Found a lot of change, some junk jewelry, a heavy silver ring, and a thin 14k gold chain I thought was trash because the locket on it was plated. Doesn't appear to be original to the locket. Glad I took the time to free the chain from the dirt without breaking it.

That's a lot of digging John, and it certainly looks like it paid off digging everything.
Congrats on the gold and silver

The little make-up brush will come in handy for brushing off the dirt on the next keeper.

How did the other guy make out yesterday?

I've never found so much as a wheat penny there. Lots of zinc pennies and junk coins though.

Great finds, very nice collection of pull tabs and bottle caps. When I get asked what I'm looking for I like to tell people I collect rare and unusual pull tabs
