small gold find

[Neil]

Out hunting last weekend with my Deleon I found this piece. Luckily it was partly out of the sand or I would never have found it because its so small. It weighs .6 grams, is stamped 14k. I had the Deleon on 0 disc with the small 5.75 concentric coil on it. If the coil isn't rubbing it, the detector isn't seeing it.
I have never seen anything like it. There are no attachment points on it, like if it is some sort of charm, no breaks in the gold at all, It looks if anything like it sits on something?
Any ideas, anyone ever see anything like this?
I apologize for the pic, I just downloaded the Fuji finepix installer on this new laptop and haven't got it all figured out yet.

Congrats, nice fine!
I would like to test my Tejon and the NEL Sharpshooter coil on that one.

Nice find Neil . I once found a silver ring with woman in that stance . When worn it looked like the figure was clinging to the finger . I gave it to someone on their Birthday . Get a magnifier and look at the stomach area to see if there is any evidence it was on a ring .

George the stomach is where the 14k mark is. Everthing on it is completely polished, cant find a single spot where it could have been attached.

I have to amend the post also. The Deleon does hit the piece about 2" away from the coil when tested in the air. 3" in all metal. It barely peeped at the beach and I tried it on the ground in my back yard and again you gotta rub the coil right on it. What a difference the ground makes on such a small target.

I tried some beach hunting today, ground is still to frozen from this past week and today at near freezing the display was in slow motion on the Deleon. Only thing I can think of at the moment of whats good about weather like this is there isn't any bugs out I guess I will be crying about skeeters in a few months...lol

That is really strange . It is small enough that it could have been worn on a chain in a small vial of water to give the illusion of swimming or being in a captive state . Maybe it's even a very costly game piece . Yes , that one is really a puzzler .

Neil just an observation on my part but the hands look like they are round ball looking so to me it looks like it would have slid down over a round shaft of some sort just thinking out loud here
