Was able to get out yesterday afternoon for about an hour and a half and then about the same today. Found a total of 65 coins and a necklace of some sort..Came from a football/soccer field so figure it is just el cheapo....but it is my first..Tried a new program on the eagle spectrum and I dug more iffy signals...Guess I will dig the iffy ones for awhile now. HH all.

Hu "el cheapo....?" That looks more like a 14k gold chain. Dose it have a 14k or 18k mark on it maybe a 10k?
WTG, Keep @ it and HH!

SC_hunter, Sure hope that mariner link necklace turns out to be gold! Let us see what it looks like cleaned up, ok? Any markings on it? Gucci would be nice |

Nice finds...i found a sterling necklace quite similar to that one,and was tarnished as bad as that but it cleaned up very nice(was the easiest thing to clean i've found yet) i used Wright's silver cream...works well on gold as well

I kept on digging the hole deeper and deeper looking for the treasure chest until I finally lifted my head, looked up and realized that I had dug my own grave.

Hi SC_Hunter:
Just got your message and I am checking out your finds! You have got to let us know if the chain is real or not, either way I take off my hat to your finds. Like I have said, we need to get together next summer and doing some detecting for a bit. I can bring the boys down and they will have a blast.
Congrats on your finds.

That Necklace looks like tarnished silver in the photo.
Brasso also cleans up the silver nicely.
Congratulations!

Thats what i was thinking,the silver one i found looked just like that,even kind of a black tarnish |

Ok, I finally found a mark on the chain....It is definitely not gold...but I'm still a little baffled. It has the mark .923...Now I know sterling silver is .925 but never seen a .923. Any ideas?

I would think that would mean that it is still silver just not full sterling silver has some other adative in it |
