Score for a random Monday Morning....

So found this on the sidewalk on my way into the office today.

Clasp is stamped 750 Italy and something else above the word Italy. Its nice and heavy and in pretty decent condition.

Nice piece 18k?- hoping it will cash in nicely some change $$$ towards a detector upgrade as after 2 years with the faithful ACES 350 its almost time…

I’ll hang on for a couple days to see if I see any lost posters or anyone sniffing around looking for it.

Nevertheless - kinda wish I had found it dirt fishin - but I’ll take it :icon_scratch::icon_scratch:

It definitely has that look to it. Hallmark looks good. It's a large enough piece to be able tell by the weight in your hand that it's a real piece of gold.

I'm curious about the gram weight too! I'll guess 28 grams! Looks very chunky. :)

GREAT surface find, and I hope you get to keep it.
 

Nice! Congrats, a find is a find!
And a lovely 18 K find it is!
 

Good eye on that chunk of gold!!

You missed it on the previous page but good guess he said 30 grams


$947 scrap value. Not too shabby
 

Lost gold bracelet marked 750 Italy on the clasp given to me by my Grandma contact A2coins if found LOL Nice find !!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Finding gold jewelry is my favorite. It looks like you found a good chunk towards that upgrade. Etrac, Deus, CTX? :icon_thumleft:

Yep = 30.x grams - ended up getting a bit less then the # suggested by Turbo above - but still its all found $$$. Didn't shop it around - as I figure the cosmos was good enough to allow me to find it - didn't want to push my luck - haggled the guy up an additional $50 over his first offer and called it a day.

Very Happy - Wife and I had our 10th Anniversary this past weekend, so this allowed me to replenish some of the $$$ spent on her present.

Yes - thinking between an AT Pro and entry Deus.....need to do a bit more research and figure out the best fit for me. But thats another thread in another forum category

Thanks all for reading - hope your finds are plentiful]

Actually just pulled the trigger and ordered an AT Pro. :occasion14:
