This time it was easy.
I was at another park that I have not hit before, and I was just wandering around like I do at new sites just looking to see what's here, how much trash and clad, you know....the lay of the land.
I was on my way back to the truck when I got a zinc signal.
Bent over to dig a zincoln, but when I popped the small plug I see a key about 4 inches deep.
I grabbed it and there was something attached, I thought it was a string at first but upon closer inspection I see it is a fine chain, golden in color.
I carefully extracted the rest of the buried chain, didn't want to break it, and it was covered with mud and in a knot.
I took it over to a puddle and cleaned it off and knew it had to be gold,
14K...2.7 grams...2nd week in a row one of my Tesoro's found some 14K!
Love the fact that the key lead me right to it, and another example of why I always dig zinc.
The Compadre would have picked this up without the key, but the disc knob would have had to be 1/2 way between all metal and iron to do it.
I usually hunt with the knob in all metal and thumb up and down to figure out the signals, and this thin little chain is exactly why.
