14K white gold rosary beads / cross

Not many targets today in spite of some huge cuts. Ended up walking down to field 3 where I got a half decent (but deep) sounding mid tone. I dug a couple of scoops, got close to the target when a small wave caught me by surprise and filled the hole. Scanned the hole but no tone. Scanned the sand from the hole... no tone. I dug about 10 or so more scoops and still, no target so I walked away (thinking it was a pull tab that got washed away). I walked about 50' and thought to myself that it sounded too good to give up on, so I went back. I dug many more scoops and a huge hole BUT no target. While muttering to myself I looked down and there, on the side of the hole (peaking out of the sand) was a silver cross! I picked it up and found that it was a rosary bead chain marked 14K! On one side of a "tag" it said "Rosario de la tierra santa" or Holy Land Rosary and the other "Jerusalem 14K". Googled it and found it on Ebay so this is the real deal... The entire thing weighs a nice 9.5 dwt. With gold closing over $1600 an ounce yesterday, this is a very nice find! :crazy:

Here's the Ebay link. The beads on mine must be a little smaller since it's about 5 or so grams lighter than this:

Great find - wtg!!! Hate when you lose a signal like that - I've been surprised lotsa times tho! Congratulations - your perseverance paid off big time!
 
I was surprised you walked away from the signal the first time Joe......
but glad to read that you went back and found the target. Well done.

LOL.. Yeah, I'm not one to walk away from a signal (even a phantom one) Heck, If I'd dug any deeper I would have ordered Chinese food
