I am sending this one in to be graded and slabbed ! ! !

The patina is nothing short of stunning.

Ring pull! Reminds me of the show detectorists, "people buy this crap on eBay"

 

[ARC]

Do you think it is sliver or white gold ?

 

[ARC]

It has a mark... I am searching feverishly to find a maker.

Looks to be an early Mountain Dew variety :P

I was a SOLID tone... man it was screamin...

Toook a scoop... and saw the glimmering from the suns rays shining of it...

I dropped in amazement...
Then had to detect it again... fearing it lost... I used all my tools available and even used my neck like an ostrich to retrieve this amazingly beautiful example !

Are you nuts... it is probably made of 100% pure aluminium... remember, gold sounds like aluminium BUT it is not aluminium... this pull tab is made of aluminium, that's why you ha ve my banner vote and every should click on "nominate banner" the little red button on top of the thread.

At first... All I heard was small "blip"... then all of a sudden my headphones were screaming so loud that lifeguards thought it was a distress signal...

It registered 300 in my readout...

Then smoke began coming from my detector... and it was vibrating... To the point of my coil almost digging the hole.

The first scoop had nothing but crusty bottle caps...
The second scoop was nothing but nails...
The third scoop were handful of those Spanish coins...

THEN thar she was. !

For a valuation, you may wish to check Ebay's "Completed Listings" for recent sales; but keep in mind counterfeits exist.
