    more water finds

    I got out yesterday for another water hunt. Not many targets, but I`m not sure about the chain. It looks like a dog chain but when it comes out of the water,(black). I cant find any markings on it.

    Pretty cool looking bracelet. Cleaned up nice like silver, but could also be stainless. You would have to get it tested to be sure. Looks art deco style to me, likely 30s to early 50s would be my guess.
    Equipment:
    Minelab: CTX 3030, GPX 4800, X-Terra 705. Whites TDI SL.

    2024: Silver 1, Gold 0
    Best finds: 28 silver dime spill, 1800s Dutch customs seal.
    Oldest/best coins: Late 1700's Chinese Cash Coin, 1837 Upper Canada large cent, 1877 Seated Dime

    It`s silver !!! Just got it tested at Gold Father and the stone turned blue. It weighs in at 50 grams. He offered me $12. I`m going it keep it for awhile and hope that the market goes up.

    Just checked online for today's scrap silver prices, and it's worth about double what was offered. But showing off your finds later is priceless, so you may want to keep that in mind too.
