Thread: More Gold :)

    More Gold :)

    Was making my rounds to the tot lots around McAllen, Texas and hit for a dime underneath one of the pieces of playground equipment. Was digging pretty much blind since there was only about 3 feet of clearance under the equipment. I got down on my hands and knees with my pinpointer to locate the dime, and sitting right on top of the wood chips was the bracelet pictured below. When I got home, it acid tested positive for 14k gold!

    Ended up getting the dime, too. Gold find #5 in the tot lots worth a total of $610 in 3 months.

    You were rewarded for getting down under & detecting there. Many people won't do that, which is fortunate for us

    Great going It's hard to believe people are taking chances on wearing gold other than wedding rings these days due to losing it or having it it snatched .
