Cabin fever motivates me and the M6!!

Well here in Montana it has been frozen for quite a while and I have been making due looking at all of the great posts from all of you. It warmed up a bit today and I had a little window of time to get out and do a little swinging. I went to a local park that I have been to many times before and many of the targets that I found were still deep in the frozen dirt and unreachable. As I was getting ready to leave I decided to search under a few trees near the parking lot. I got a signal that was jumping between a penny and a sketchy nickle. It pinpointed kinda funny and when I dug it I saw a mans copper braided bracelet. It didn't look like anything special just a copper bracelet. When I got it home I put a buffing wheel on my Dremel tool to buff it up a bit. This didn't do too much, so I added a little buffing compound and it started shining. I soon saw that not all of the strands of the braid were the same, two were copper, one silver and one was GOLD!!! Whoo hoo!! My first gold for the year. As soon as I got home, the snow started dumping like crazy so it will be a while till I get out again. Glad I did it while I could.

I have one of those bracelets I bought at a street fair for $5 but it's still an interesting find.

Nice find. I always hunt around trees and under bushes places that are not normally hunted. I was on a hunt with a friend and he detected metal at a tree base .He worked a old toy car out of a crevice in the trunk of a old tree. I remember the the maker was Tootsie Roll the candy co. The bracelet is a good start for spring ,may the next one be a tennis bracelet.
