The Wife Was Ready to Give Up

The wife had not found anything good for almost a year...! So today we were on Lake Lahaton Nevada, on our old 53 year old boat.... and I had to kind of encourage into bringing her Vanquish 540 Pro detector.
I didn't find anything worth mentioning except a couple of fishing lures and sinkers. But she pulled up this very slender gold chain out of the beach. I'm so thrilled for her..!! So now she's good for at least another 6 months of metal detecting..!!

Nice find!!
Are you going to have it repaired..
What karat is it?

Very nice gold chain! Now you have to repair so she can wear it

The chain is paper thin, despite what the picture looks like. But the clasp is stamped 14k. But it's her find, so she can spend or do with it what she wants.

I suspect it will cost more to repair than its value..! But it's her great find.

That was a tough find with a detector....good on her. There is a lot of chain length there. HH jim tn

GOLD, tell her congrats!
Similar to gambling but with way less cost and the benefit of some exercise. You're right, one good hand (find) will keep us at the table.

Congrat's to the Mrs. with the Save of the Gold chain. It can be very frustrating to say the least when ones hits a dry spell, but it only takes one Save such as this to spring right back with a renewed interest and drive to move on looking for that next Save of the Treasure. Well Done.

Ok... Here's a Pic of my 53 year old boat. Don't laugh. It still runs great. And we detect little coves that are hard to get too.

Nice I have a 16 ft duck boat narrow and gets in to skinny spots works great for areas I cant reach by foot!
