    Question about Gold

    I found a small gold colored ring today. There is no Karat stamp on the inside but there is an A with a star next to it. I was wondering if it was real gold. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks HH Rick

    Question about Gold

    I found a little ring today it won't even fit on my pinky finger. I checked for markings and on the inside of the top of the ring there is an A with a star next to it. There are no other markings like 10K or 14K...there is a small S design on the face. any Ideas? Thanks and HH Rick

    Question about IDX Pro

    I just bought a used IDX Pro. I was wondering if anyone has used this detector and how would you rate it. I will be mostly hunting parks and occasionally beaches. About how much depth can i expect to get on average. I know it can vary depending on ground conditions. How well does it lock on to a...

    Beach Finds

    Hit the beach for a couple of hours this AM. I decided to hunt the dry stuff for a change and it paid off. I scored a 10K gold Ring with clear stones. I doubt that they are the real deal in 10K but still nice to find. I also got a Gucci watch. I called Gucci and it retails for 495.00. That is a...

    Getting Better

    I gotta get a camera. I went to the local park again today and scored another IH 1902,A 1907 V Nickel and 3 Buffalo's ( no visible dates). I think most of the silver has been long gone but i still like finding old coins. The only problem ( besides no camera) is that the coins are in pretty bad...

    Sterling chains and earrings

    I have found a couple of .925 chains with my Q. when the coil swept over them they did not hit in the silver range they showed as nickel 14,15,16. I have also found 925 earrings to do this as well. I was wondering if anyone else has found this to be the case. If so do you know why? HH Rick,
