Gold, silver and a 99 year old coin...what more can you ask for?

[DIGGER27]

I had a great day yesterday!


Found a small spot in a big old park that I didn't think had much and I suspect all the other hunters that came to this park over the last 60 years thought the same.
We were all wrong.
Just a small time spent in this area, I got too excited after digging the gold so I will save the rest for my next few visits.


In that time I found a 1916 wheat, a silver spoon, not plated, and a big ol piece of 14k gold.
8.8 grams worth.
Found the spoon first at the outskirts of this small site, walked away and then came back and found the rest.
Once I found that coin and then a few beaver tail tabs I switched out of coin mode back to jewelry mode...it's been awhile.
Just in time too because not 5 minutes later I came across this religious pendant which was a high tab signal.
Haven't found gold since early in the year so a welcome sight and extra special because this is better than your run of the mill gold ring.


Silver, gold, an old coin and there could be much more.
Like I said, I had a great day!

Congrats on the beautiful piece of gold! That is a wonderful find for sure! :notworthy:

Thanks!
The most shocking thing that happened to me was not finding the gold but what my wife said to me when I offered it to her.
She said...and it is still hard to believe this..."This pendant is too big and gaudy for me to wear".
Life is just full of so many surprises.

After reading your thread title....WOW. What a great hunt and that piece of gold is fantastic looking. Congrats on that silver spoon bowl, I have yet to dig a complete silver spoon. Can't wait to see what else is waiting for you.

WOW, you pretty much covered the spectrum of precious metals in a little space! Unusual to see a religious medal with a horseshoe border. Too bad it's upside down, guess the luck all ran out for the previous owner! :) :congrats:

Here is a similar 14k pendant from a dealer on etsy.
It is way smaller and half the weight at 4.5 grams.
Price...$395.
