    Three ring weekend

    Found the silver ring at a playground in the wood chips on Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon I was searching the sidelines of a soccer field and I got a 12 hit on the MXT's VDI meter. Down about one inch was this 1.6 gram 14 K gold band size 5. Sunday I went to a sports complex that has...

    Gold and Opal Ring and a Merc

    Sunday afternoon hunting a sports field I got a beep on the MXT and a reading of 6 on the VDI meter. When I looked down I saw the 14K opal ring on top of the ground. It only weighs .6 grams and it is a size 2. The 1942 Mercury dime hit at 83 on the meter and was down about 2 inches. Yesterday I...

    Gold, Silver and a Couple of Fakes

    Found the Swiss pocket knife, .925 silver ring and the CZ ring at playgrounds I searched this past week. The "Gold" chain is marked 14 K and .585. I tested it with Mizar gold tester and guess what? it's not gold. This is the third fake gold chain I have found. Now the gold signet ring is real...

    Gold Signet Ring

    Found this yesterday at a Seattle park. Was searching around the restrooms in the grass when I got a 28-30 hit on my MXT with the Bigfoot coil. Dug down about 2 inches and saw the unmistakable yellow color of gold. No matter how many times I dig up gold I still get that excited "Holy Shi?" will...

    A Ring Named "Butch" ?

    Well that's what I thought it said until I cleaned it up a little. Small 1.1 gram 10K gold ring that registered at 12 on the MXT VDI meter. Down about 1 inch in the turf at an elementary school play field. Thanks for looking! Mike

    Bracelet and High School Ring

    Found the 14K Kid's bracelet in the wood chips at a park play area. It registered 14 to 18 and then 2 to 4 on the VDI meter on my MXT and Bigfoot coil. The numbers bounced around a lot probably because it was reading the link chains on one pass and then the ID plate on the next. It weighs 7.5...

The three rings in the front are silver and the one in back is copper with a glass stone in the center. It's two side stones are missing. The Seattle Transit...

    Gold and Platinum MXT Finds

    I found this jewelry in about the last 16 months since I got my MXT. The two rings in the top row of the ring box are marked 950 platinum. The rest are gold. I sold two chains and five rings and returned two gold class rings this year. The MXT with the Bigfoot coil has worked exceptionally well...

    South African Krugerrand?

    Well, not exactly. But it is a one Rand from South Africa. It's about the size of a nickle. Found in the wood chips at play areas along with the other rings and a 14 K gold earing. It only weighs .7 gram and registered at 2 to 6 on the MXT's VDI meter with the Bigfoot coil. I'll be glad when the...

    Found my first Mercury dime last week at a park in Seattle. They sure come out of the ground shiny compared to the clad coins. It was down about 3 inches and hit at 82 on the VDI meter. The white 14 K gold wedding band (4.5 grams) registered at a solid 16. No variation between sweeps. One thing...

    Bear Claw Gold/Silver Jewelry

    Found the 14 K men's band (7.1 grams) right inside the goal at a soccer field. One inch down and registered at 47 on the VID meter using the MXT with the Bigfoot coil. Why it hit at 47 is beyond me. Most rings, like the 10 mm 14 k Ring (8.1 grams) next to it, run in the 20 to 30 VID range. The...

    One ounce of Gold and Silver

    Found the gold chain in the middle of a football field last week. It registered at 17 on the VDI meter of my MXT with the Bigfoot coil. I was shocked when I dug this one up. I could not believe how heavy it was for its size. It is 20 inches long and it weighs in at one ounce. I tested it on my...
