Gold?
I had a detect back at Whangaparoa (Algies beach),At a guess this beach is pretty well picked over,as the usual finds of $1 and $2 coins just were not there,So I slowed right down to a snails pace and dug virtually every signal but ferrous,The earring was 8" down and although it is not marked other than a makers name (Reola) At least I think that is the name its a bit faded,also managed the two STD dog tags and a few dollars that were down real deep.

Where would I rather be? At work or digging a gold ear ring 8" down. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's heavy enough for its size to be gold. Worth taking the time to test even if by specific gravity if you don't have access to the acids.
ReplyDeleteThanks Grant,the more I look at it the more I am sure it is gold,I will get jeweller to check it.
ReplyDeletewhat numbers did the etrac give?, if gold im guessing around a 12-15 for something of that weight ... sure looks like gold
ReplyDeleteHowdy Brett,sorry I really don't recall exactly,as it was pretty deep the first indicating signals were fluctuating.....Hold all tickets I just went out and tried it came in at a solid 12-23....cheers
