    Gold beyond belief

    I don't even know how to tell this story as it is 1 in a million. Nice day in Wisconsin again so I headed to a park I found a Gold class ring at last fall. When I found that ring I had just found a clad dime so I decided to dig the iffy nickel signal right next to it and it tuned out to be the class ring. This day I was digging a lot of 11-12/12-14 signals and finding ALL beaver tails. A couple hours into the hunt I hit a decent 12-13 and dug a 4-5" Buffalo Nickel ('21). With that fresh in my head I got an iffy 11-13 that I figured I might as well dig as I just got the Buffalo. About 2-3" down I saw what looked like Gold chain. BOY was it. On a 14K chain were 6 Gold rings (two 14K and four 10 K) 2 had diamonds (pretty small and the rest had no stones or non-diamond stones in them). The chain would have been a really small wrist as it never would of fit my wrist. I think I have found 4 or 5 gold rings since 2012 and today I found 6 at once. Also, why would anyone put all those Gold rings on a chain like that. Not sure if I'll be able to locate an owner but I have an idea on how to get started. Also managed to find another silver which turned out to be another quarter ('39). UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

    Weird. It looks like at least two of those are engagement rings for a woman, yet the band is a figaro. Was this a bracelet for the lost loves? Maybe it's the first pandora bracelet. Congrats on finding big gold.

    Wow, talk about a gift rapped find. And I thought it was pretty cool when I dug a key chain with 6 keys on it.
    The gold chain is awesome, but have 6 gold rings attached. Wow
    Great find.
