First Hunt of 2013: Gold, Silver, Century Clad Haul!

Howdy Folks!
After being sick with the flu for the first couple of weeks of 2013 (not the best start for the year, BTW), I finally got out toward the tail end of January despite the weather being funky. It wasn't terrible, but not very pleasant either. Anyhow, I visited two of my favorite haunts and nailed silver at the first, and gold at the second on my way to a century clad day.

My totals were:
23 Quarters = $5.75
16 Nickels = $0.80
23 Dimes = $2.30
58 Pennies = $0.58
1 Dollar Coin = $1.00
Total = $10.43

As for the gold and silver, here are a couple of photos. The gold and silver were both small items. I also found something that look silver, is engraved in a fanciful manner, but I do not know that it is silver or not just now. The silver looks like a really smallish earring stamped .925, and the gold is a very thin necklace chain with a religious medal on it, stamped 10k.

Don't expect it is worth anything, but thought this piece was pretty spiffy!

Mystery find of the day. This looks like silver, is heavy, but not stamped at all. Hmmm.

Did I mention I found gold? Or that I love finding gold? Can't resist another look!



I gotta tell ya, it surely felt good to get out swinging the MXT Pro today!
Assuming I stay healthy and hale, I expect to rack up a good deal of gold, silver and coinage this coming year.

Did I mention that I love to see gold posted. That is an impressive necklace. Getting a century of clad is a lot of digging, way more than I could do, :congrats: on your gold and silver

:wow: Nice digging! That's alot of clad. Glad your feeling better and are able to get out and do some swinging. Love the gold necklace - love the mxt pro too :detecting: :congrats: on the Silver & Gold :perfect10: :perfect10:

That's one hunt ? My back is sore just looking at all those goodies. Congrats on the nice haul !

:wow:! Thats all from one hunt? Very Impressive! Nice gold neckles! >:\ I'm still lookin at frozen ground :frozen: Keep :detecting: You have some good places to hunt!

Excellent hunt with a very nice variety of good finds. :congrats:

Howdy Folks!
Thanks for the nice comments, and I ain't been hunting much lately. Either I'm real busy with work,
or it's just too darn cold for me any more. Since I took blood thinners a few years ago to combat a
blood clot, I ain't had the same ability to cope with cold that I was.

Anyhow, I get out when it is warm, and swing when I can.
Thanks again for dropping by!

Nice finds. Congrats!

Way more digging than I'm capable of. Very nice finds, and the large piece looks like a napkin ring. It could very well be a large silver find. :omg:
