Whites MXT Does It Again

We were camping Memorial Day weekend and I had a few places I wanted to detect. Rain was coming down in places and we were bound and determined to get out and swing our detectors. The weather broke and we were detecting. I came across these 3 Indian cents in one hole. 1889, 1897 & 1906. I was very excited. At the time, I had my discrimination set to 6 on my good old Whites MXT.

While sweeping about 5 feet away, I kept getting a hard signal over and over. It was ringing in at 34. I wasn't digging any lower numbers at the time. But for some reason this broke through the discrimination and kept sounding off at me. Finally I gave in to my Old Gal (Whites MXT) and dug a 3" plug and 5" down. Saw a piece of shiny wire. I gently pulled it out because it was quite shiny and was thinking it was a silver bracelet. Yes, it was a bracelet. But why didn't my Old Gal say it was silver? Larry said that the detector would have gone off like it was a half dollar if it were silver. We had to stop for the rain was coming down a bit harder now. I kept thinking it was some type of precious metal but Larry was sure it wasn't. I gave it a quick wash at the campsite and there wasn't any markings on it. None!

I wasn't done detecting that place. The next day we went back and I found a 1945 Merc. dime, a 1934 Buffalo nickel and a 1910 Wheat cent.

After breaking camp and coming home. I kept thinking that the bracelet had to be some type of precious metal even though it had no markings. Had it tested and sure enough, it is white gold. 12 K WHITE GOLD at a weight of 16.8 grams. After owning my Whites MXT detector since it came off the production line, she still makes me happy. Whites MXT keeps paying for itself even after 14 plus years. Thank you Whites.

HH,
Nancy

WOW,
Now that is worth standing in the rain for.
WAY TO GO.
There is nothing like an MXT. They just won't let you walk over GOLD.
 
Thanks guys. It was a great weekend all around.
 
That's some beefy piece of bracelet you have there Miss Nancy! Suitable for somebody with wrists like potatoes. :rofl:

Congrats on the old coins and white gold.
 
Awesome finds congratulations!
 
Thank you all for your comments!

Pete, The bracelet does have some weight to it and the potato was the first thing I thought of to hold it up. "Women's ingenuity". :crazy:
 
Nice finds Nancy. If you want a "real" spud to display your finds I can drive across the Border to Idaho ( a mile away) and get ya a genuine Idaho Tater.
 
Or I can walk out my door since I'm already in Idaho. I couldn't help but notice your choice of that tater to show off your nice bracelet, and I heartily approve. :lol:

Great finds. Nothing beats an MXT for plain ol' performance and simplicity.
 
Thanks Greg, I love those Idaho potatoes. No better baker in the world. :biggrin:

Wayfarer, I wish we could grow those type of taters here but our soil is better for corn and soybeans. :sadwalk:

Thank you both for the compliments. We just got back from our Metal Detecting Club and I took 1st. Place in Jewelry, Misc. Coin, Oldest Coin and Most Valuable Coin. :surprised: I'm so shocked! All items from the same yard. :happy:

HH,

Another great hunt Nancy, you always seem to do well with the old MXT.
 
Thank you Bula. I do love that MXT. Specially when she talks me into digging something like that! :biggrin:
 
Rain or not, it appears that you and Larry had a great time camping and metal detecting. Thanks for sharing. Kelley (Texas) :)
 
Thanks Kelley, We did have a great time camping and detecting. Those two seem to go together quite well.
 
Congrats on the finds.

Sounds good. May be you can call it camptecting?!:clsoedeyes:
 
Camptecting, I like that! Thanks Vito :thumbup:
 
Real nice finds! I love finding the older coins like that but the gold bracelet is a terrific find itself! I also have an MXT 300 and GMT too.
 
Thanks Dave. I thought you had an MXT also. I really truly like the MXT.
