Detector(s) used
IDX Classic SL-x2....Excalibur1000
Havent been on in awhile.Too frozen to detect in my spot on the globe.Sooo....my swing time turned into tumble time and I managed to clean and roll 3+ years of dug clad. Now, I dont do the woodchips and parks too much, so I dont dig the huge amounts of coin, but over time Ive managed to fill a two gallon ice cream bucket most of the way.It took me the better part of a weekend to prep that much change for recirculation.So, what did I get for all of my time and effort??...Put your shades on...

Just back from the jewelers.....cleaned and polished......42 grams/14k......15 diamonds....G-H in color.....S-1 to S-2 clarity...Absolutely gorgeous, quality workmanship.

Pd.....89% of the scrap price of the gold alone!

I may post a pic of my wifes face Christmas morn!

NOTE....I turned my clad into treasure prior to reading of TN members donating thier clad to charity.I still have $42. in Loonies and Twonies.Ill see that they end up in the kettle.....Happy Holidays to all and best of luck.....Joe
