Hey everyone,

I've been searching a new park I found recently. Has a ballfield, tot-lot, walking track, grassy area, etc. I have found quite a few Wheat cents there and I just knew there had to be a touch of silver there.

Today, I set out in the ballfield. My 4th target I dug this beauty. 1942 Mercury. You can see where I pinpointed it too close. :(

After about an hour in the field, I decided to start heading back to the car. I thought I would hit the Tot-Lot first so I tried something a little different for programs. I went to "JEWELRY/BEACH". In my first swing I got a GOOD LOUD +10-+15. I rubbed the sand out of the way and saw THIS!!!!!!!

IT REALLY GOT MY HEART POUNDING! It looks like gold. There isn't a mark on it except for the hand engraved markings on the outside. Plus, you can tell where they melted the metal for the Rams' Head to join onto the bracelet.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!
Ian

I'm guessing it is gold. :)

Congrats on your persistence either way.

I second that. Great couple of finds. I love them both! Very cool bracelet.
Congrats to you,

Looks good, guess you need to invest in a gold tester. It's a pretty find either way. Congrats
 

Great finds DD---Congrats
 

Love that merc....and the heat has been a killer a little south of you too and those darn mosquitoes..Nice finds and bring a lot of water with you.
 

:'(

Gold plated. I gave it the "bend" test. Once I started bending it, the gold started flaking off. Oh well. I still found the merc and I forgot to mention that I found a $5 bill blowing across the ballfield, so it was still an awesome day!

Sounds like an awesome day to me! That merc is gorgeous and who can say no to a $5 with wings?! :D
 

Nice merc and really nice "gold" bracelet.
I hope its' gold too.

Keep safe...
 

Pretty Merc & congrats on pinpointing that close, I'm still floundering around. I'm with you on the gold and silver stuff, I have no clue whether something is real or not. I've found some great looking diamond looking stones but like I said, I don't have a clue. Keep digging and stay hydrated.
