ace 350, whites coinmaster 5000/D
SO i got out there this morning while it was lightly raining and tried a large park next to my house. after about 10 minutes of hitting the field and finding trash i decided to try the tot lot to re energize myself considering it was 5:30am, and what do you you know i hit gold in the first dig. It was a gold bracelet marked 750 and so i checked what those hallmarks stand for and it said it was 18k, :headbang: i was really exited cause i had yet to find any gold so i boogied out of there and dried up at home. since i dont own a scale or a gold tester. I decided to head over to the gold shop at the mall. The lady tested it and said that it was real and weighed it at 16.2 grams. i was so exited knowing it was over half an ounce of gold. then she said if i sold it they would pay $150. Now i'm no genius math expert but i knew that 16 grams of 18 kt gold is worth at least 5 or 600 dollars with gold at 1500 an ounce, and there was no way i was gonna sell it even if they did offer me a fair price' because that was my first piece of gold ever found and i'm gonna keep it ;D

Pictures will be up as soon as i can find my usb cord to import the pics from my phone. should be soon

I tried to email myself the photos but when i tried to open them the pictures wouldnt open, so i borrowed a friends camera and snapped a few pics. That heart pendant would have been nice if it was real.
