Gold today during my lunch break!

Today I hit a nearby park that I have found lots of great coins in over the last few years. There are not many high tones left so I often focus on the nickel tones. I came across a perfect nickel signal (12-13) about 5 inches deep so I was optimistic that this one was not going to be a pull tab. To my surprise I dug a small 10k pendant of some sort. It is smaller than a dime and looks like there was a pin on the back so maybe this was a pin?

It pays to dig those nickel signals, for me I get a gold item that I thought was a nickel once every other year. Always a nice surprise!

Thanks for looking - Jared

Awesome find! :notworthy:

I think "Ionic Chapter" has something to do with the Freemasons or the Royal Arch Masons. I'm not sure what "DM" stands for.

Congrats on the gold! :perfect10:

Great Find.

:congrats: on the Gold

From a nickle to a hunk of gold......:congrats:

Very sweet, congrats on a piece of that elusive gold!

Well now, ain't that a nice surprise! :shocked04:
Better than a cruddy old nickel any day!
Congrats Jared!!:yahoo:

congrats Bucknut , its a very nice item !:cheering::clapping:

WOW! Nice find!

Nice find, Buck. Great to find gold and even better when its unique like that. I'd say its a pendant too, vs a pin missing the point. Just the connecting loop is what opened up and is no longer on the pendant loop.

Beautiful piece !
