Went back and found the chain

[fongu]

About a month ago I was at the river and getting a chain signal and a huge storm came up. Had to leave when the lightning started. I don't know if this was the same chain and don't know if it's gold because it has no markings and I haven't tested it yet. Anyway, I hadn't planned to go back to the river since somebody is working it with a PI machine, but decided to give it one last try. Found this chain and a little butterfly which I'm sure is junk and a leaf like piece of jewelry which I broke trying to get out of my scoop and an unusual ear ring, 24 cents in clad and numerous bullets and sinkers and junk trash. Spent today running errands and trying to do some more research at the public library, but got skunked in my efforts today. Found somebody's glasses, #2 lead weight plus small sinkers. The At/Pro was in rare form and quit on me all of a sudden and wouldn't do anything and I thought I had a problem. It was just the rechargeable batteries
and they were down to one bar and that was all she wrote. Came home and charged them up and put them in and it was working at the house. I was so tired that day, I just didn't bother with changing them at the river and I had to pick up and order that afternoon anyway.
The little dance item sounded mighty low with those metal dots, I call rhinestones. Don't really know what they are, but I was too lazy to change the stock coil and was surprised when it found the smaller leaf jewelry about 6-7 inches deep. Just a little whisper & it was in the scoop. Still haven't taken my GTI-2500 out in the field, but hope to Sunday after church.

Good Hunt to be able to come back and find a signal from before!! Good Luck on your sunday outing....

 

[Cupajo]

The thrill of the hunt!!

OBN, I believed it was on the other side of where I found it, but you take a chain where you find them. Made my day. Haven't tested it yet, but I'm been busy.

Nice hunting there, Fongu!

Thanks Mud. I'm working on getting permission to hunt some land spots and hope to hear something next week. Worst thing they can say is no and best thing is yes. Found two more old places and trying to track down the owners. Think I did that last night, but have to verify before I contact them.

what did the chain test?

 

[fongu]

I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but really doubt it's gold. It might be, but I don't think so.

 

[fongu]

It was no good, tested it today. I was pretty sure it wasn't anygood, but test proved positive it wasn't anything but junk. Easy come, easy go.

Bummer! Still, it was a chain, and those are one tough signal real or fake, a lot tougher signal than a ring!...I think you got this detecting thing down...Good Luck on the next one! Its waiting out there for you, of that I have no doubt!

Mud, wishful thinking must have turned to wishful dreaming. I dreamed I was at the river and found a gold plate and it was an inch thick and I was trying to conceal it inside my clothes so no one would try and take it from me and Lord, it was heavy. Probably would have broke my belt and pulled my pants down. That's the worst nightmare you can have, being naked in public. Then I dreamed I found an old navigation instrument from the old days and can't think of what the thing was called, but think it started with S. It was the one where you looked at the stars and moon and maybe the sun, but not sure that wouldn't hurt your eyes and got a reading to navigate by. Weird dreams, no more snacks before bed. HH.
