I got out this morning to hunt an old school that dates from the 1940's , I had never hunted before . Well I was only able to hunt for 15 minutes and then every soccer player in the city showed up http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/BangHead.gif . I moved on to the next school . As I was leaving my hunting buddy Kevin call and wanted to meet up at the next school http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif . I got to the field first and found a few pieces of clad . Kevin showed up and I told him what I had found so far . As he put on his head phones I got a nice +12 at 4 inches . I couldn't believe what I saw in the bottom of the hole http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/shocked.gif , GOLD ! But not any gold , it was a 14K gold pendent with the name KEVIN on it http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/laughing7.gif . What are the odds of that !!!! If Kevin had got to the field first he may have found himself http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/laughing7.gifhttp://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/laughing7.gifhttp://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/laughing7.gif . It weighs 4.75 grams and will go in my treasure chest http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif . The other items found were two junk rings , a 1944S wheat and two old Jefferson nickles in the same hole , 1947 and 1958D . Total clad for 3 hours was $6.54 .

Cool story! I don't see a hallmark on the gold, but I assume it must be marked somewhere? That scarab pendant is really nice too! Congrats! :bananadance:

No hallmarks on it . I had to test it , it passed 14k but not 18k .
