***UPDATE*** Took it to my coin dealer and had it acid tested... BIG FAT FAKE!!!! I guess I found it too soon after it was dropped and it didn't have time to tarnish yet. This just hasn't been my year for fakes! Win some, lose some... I just seem to be losing them all this year... Sorry folks!!
Today started out rather lackluster... I hunted for a couple of hours at my favorite park that has produced quite a bit of silver for me over the last couple of years... I was just about to finish up and head home, so I decided to go over a spot that has produced over 20 silver coins for me so far this year. It sets right in front of an old bathroom/concession stand. I swung a few times near the entrance of the bathrooms and right in front of me at the edge of the grass I saw something sparkle... I couldn't believe my eyes!!! There sat this BIG gold chain...Please be a mark...please be a mark...!!! Flipped over the clasp and there it was 14K !!! Wooohoo!! I took a quick video of it there (I'll have to post later) and immediately quit hunting and had to get home to weigh it. It came in at a whopping 47 grams!!!! This thing is heavy. Prior to this one my biggest gold chunk was 19 grams (spinner ring). The park that I found it in had a Homecoming Festival last weekend. I totally wasn't expecting this. I did the calculations and it came to melt of $1,573 this afternoon's prices!!! Here's the pics!
