20 inches of 14 K...

[jkress]

Last August I got into this great hobby and immediately got hooked on finding silver coins. I spent all of last fall searching for silver.

Around May, I decided to give an honest effort to find some gold this year. Many, many pull tabs later I can finally say I found my first gold. :clapping:

I found this yesterday about 3 inches down...

Aye yie yie lol That's one lump of gold :shocked04: Maybe I better start digging them pull tabs lol What a great find and it looks heavy. Paid for a very good chunk of that machine just in one find. Congrats on that gold :beerbuddy:

I really should have put a coin in for size reference because the necklace is not that heavy. I don't have a scale, but I'm sure it wouldn't ring up as too much. The clasp is pretty standard size... you can use that for reference.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone!

I gotta be honest, I think I would have rather pulled a nice silver quarter instead. Of course a gold coin or ring would definitely change my mind pretty quick. It's just nice to finally get that gold monkey off my back.

but... any gold is good gold.

:huh: You can cash that thing in anywhere for likely enough money to buy a whole mess of silver quarters!
