Park Finds...925 silver chain.

[Goldstrike]

Spent about 3 hrs in a local park and came home with a few coins and this nice 925 silver chain. One of the nicest I've ever detected. The sun was starting to go down and I was getting ready to go home so it was a cool surprise at the end the hunt! I have detected 2 gold rings and some silver coins at this park in the past so it's a park that keeps on giving

Goldstrike,

what machine were you using and what did it hit on and how deep was it?

M.L. Safari registering a scratchy sounding 13-14. It was in an unmowed grassy area. I detected it first and thought it was foil and then found it hiding down in the grass. If it was a silver coin, it would have screamed like silver coins normally do but this didn't register in the 38-39 range like silver!....My motto is if it sounds different, dig it!

Thanks. I was wondering because with my Safari I have found many necklaces and all of them had
mixed signals. One had a 92.5 k snap on it but was a cheap necklace. I attributed that to the
high pitch the silver gives off and the low pitch soft metals such as nickel gives off. Now when I run
across anything with mixed signals such as that I dig it and that is how I found so many chains.
One however held a steady 9 but showed 2 different depths. Almost didn't dig it but did and found
that the end was lying close to the top of the dirt and the other end of it was wadded up about 2"
deeper.

Yes, ditto on those observations! I think chains confuse metal detectors and I think the detector doesn't know whether to i.d. a chain by a link or by the whole mass so it gives mixed/confused signals! I wished I had studied metallurgy in college now!
