Gold Streak Continues!

Took my 54th birthday and went to the local park to find some old coins, but none. Just lots of clad, and one nice gold earring. Marked 585 FB. .585 is the European equivalent of 14K and the FB is the makers hallmark. It was heavy and the melt value was 80.00. The rest was kinda boring and it was cold and breezy. I did include a picture of the trash I dig to find the gold, just to let the newbies know how much work it is to find something good in the hunted out parks. Lot's of goodies still to be found but most is masked by iron and other sundry trash. Go get you some!
 
Gold, no matter how small it is, is a great find!!:thumbup:
 
Thanks for showing all the trash you had to go through to find the gold. Knowing what successful detectorist do to find gold is a worthy lesson to repeat. I'm going to try to spend more time in all metal and dig all tones higher tones. I just may have to put that as a sticker on my control box to remind myself to find gold I have to dig to junk. Thanks for sharing.
Happy 54 Birthday and many more years of digging gold out of the junk.
 
Let me clarify. I hunt for all treasure. Including silver and gold. Unfortunately the big silver is in the 87-91 range on Whites VDI numbers and square nails are around 90-93. So I guess I dig a lot of nails, but I also get a lot of silver masked by the iron. The gold generally comes in around 14-35 on the VDI. much of the pull tabs and beavertails come in around there. But occasionally the big mens gold rings can score in the penny range 50-78 VDI. So guess what? I dig it all. I have been surprised more than a few times when I thought I was digging a penny or pull tab and up pops the gold. Hope that helps, because when detectin4fun said you were digging all the high tones, i wanted to point out on the whites, it's the low tones that generally brings home the gold. Go get you some!
 
I have a permission where there is a lot of buried can slaw, whole pop cans, and I'm finding Small hot wheel type cars. A good amount of local teenagers and younger men gathering at a BB court. This permission has potential IMO to hold a possible class ring. I did pull some clad on one day but nothing after that besides cans and trash. No ID numbers on my 250 so I'm going by the tone and where it hits on the bar graph. The low tones usually mean iron and I generally ignore them or notch them out. I had began hunting in all metal last fall to hear all the tones and hopefully hear the higher tones along with the grunt of iron. I had not dug the low tones. I'm going to take your advice and dig it all. Just maybe my feeling a ring is hiding there is right and digging it all will get me to my bucket list find. Waiting for the weather to warm up so this old guy can get out and go get me some gold. Thank for sharing and the advice.
