Black Hills Gold and Crucifix

[Treasure Mike]

Found the 14K crucifix and chain in the wood chips at a tot lot. Registered 0- foil- 6 back and forth on each pass of the Bigfoot coil. Kicked back some of the wood chips and was I surprised. I was lucky the pendant was attached so I got that 6 reading on it as opposed to just the foil reading the chain gave off. There is so much foil chewing gum/candy wrappers that you start to ignore the foil readings. I was lucky this time. The Black Hills gold 10K ring is 1.5 grams and I found it at a baseball field between the fence and the spectator seats. Hit at 6-8 on the VDI meter and down less than an inch. Thanks for looking! Mike

There you go again, Mike. Tenacity does pay off. The Black Hills gold ring is very cute ..... my wife would love it. The crucifix is also very nice but that chain looks like a work of art.

Just curious, what is your pulltab/foil/canslaw to gold item ratio? Reason I ask is because I have not found a gold item lately and my pulltab/foil/canslaw pile is getting fairly large.


Congratulations and continued good luck, Bob

I would have to say that I dig a whole lot of tabs, aluminum can slaw etc. to find one gold item. Probably a few hundred pieces of junk for every piece of gold jewelry.It also works out to about 10-12 hours or more of detecting per piece of gold I find. It's a lot of work but you find clad and other cool stuff along the way. Good Hunting! Mike

Thanks Mike,

Sounds like I should continue building that pile of tabs and canfetti. Like you said a lot of cool stuff shows up during the search.

Continued good luck, Bob
