Off Work Early Finds

Hmmm...white gold, possibly Jadeite in the center, or emerald? You would need that tested--any jeweler worth his salt should tell right away. Sometimes emeralds will glow dull red under UV light--a test you can do at home. I suspect the smaller stones are diamonds with a coating of grime--easy to test. Nice find!

that's what its all about when you swing the coil over the target and you dig that yellow metal from it long time hiding place that's the felling we all feel when detecting regards Harry oh and P.S. could be a South American emerald as I have a few like that

I think your right Kurt. Jadeite matches pretty good from what I have read. I'll take it in next week and see for sure. I can see carbon specks in the diamonds so I am pretty sure they are real. Just need to be cleaned up a bit.

Finding gold does make it a great day TreasHunt. That's why I am out there looking. All the clad is nice but the gold is what I like to find. Just don't find enough of it. I agree nuggethill nothing like the feeling of popping up gold no matter what shape or form it's in.

Chris the main places I look are the schools and the parks. I sometimes check out some old trailer parks in the area that have been shut down. I find more copper piping and wire than anything else. It goes in the barrel with the other copper I have. And where ever else the opportunity may arise.

Good to see you back Richard. The clad definitely adds up. That's what keeps me in the game till I find the gold and silver. I went to 3 schools this morning and found right at $7.00 and a silver bracelet I guess. 10 grams of sterling.
