I Hit a soccer field, today/Friday. Set my 900 on Park 2 in hopes of finding some jewelry. I've dug plenty of clad out of the field, but never any jewelry. I knew, though, that there had to be some. I could smell it! I was swinging along and received a nice, smooth (if I remember correctly) 10 signal from the Nox that made me stop, turn around, and investigate it a little further. Started digging, and was greeted by a beautiful, gold color chain with crucifix.

I was shocked. It's been thirty years since I've found any gold. Here I am calling it gold when I'm really not sure what it's made of. It just feels, and looks so gold-like that it just has to be. The only markings are what appears to be a "7Z8" located on either side of the clasp.

What do you all think? Did I find the real deal? If so, this is the largest gold find that I have ever made. For me to say that I'm stoked, would be an understatement.

Thanks for looking, and for any help with an ID.

PS - Sorry for the huge pics., and no, I do not think that I damaged the crucifix. Maybe a lawn mower?

Very nice find. Still looking for my wife's I'm hoping she lost in our yard.
I'm not seeing any base metal. Like where it wore thru a plating.
Where it's broken on the cross.
Is it still gold in the middle ?
Looks more like BZL to me.
Did it come out of the ground looking all purrty and shinny like that.
Really looking like gold to me.
 
I too recently found this chain at a basketball court I can see pendant NG as gold it wearing off However chain looks new with no wear or discoloration The only marking is a G on the clasp I need to buy test kit !!! I have read about ION plating I’m thinking that’s what mine is what is BZL ??

No other hallmarks that I can find, and yeah, the suggested "BZL" makes a lot more sense. I was able to locate my magnet this morning, and determined that the clasp is attracted to it. The chain and cross are not. When viewing through a loupe, I do see what may be a base metal at the breaks in the cross. So, for now, I'm chalking it all up to being just junk. A nice looking junker, but a junker none the less.

I think I need to buy a test kit so that the next time I find a shocker, I won't have to endure the shock for so long. I have to admit, though, that it was kind of fun while it lasted.

I appreciate all of the replies, everyone.

Anyway it still a very nice piece.
And it has gold in it.
So congratulations.
You did find gold.
 
Ya have to love it when gold colors come up. I found a womans wrist watch that was marked 14kp, plated but who cares? Still made me do some nearly pornographic version of the chicken dance….😂

Gold filled also comes out of the ground looking real good, too. Don’t know the base metal but I know it rang up in-the coin range. I was just cherry picking. That’s how I found the chain & pendant. I was just quarter hunting and it came in loud & clear. I haven’t found gold in the dirt for a long time.

I'll venture to say that pendant gave you the high coin signal.
