I was going to put the Joey up for sale since the Minelab 8" coil has been working so well this year.I decided to take it to a woodchip playground before I posted it on the forums.
The weather here in NM was cold and spitting snow, I figured this would keep the parents and kids home today, but, it didn't. It did keep the crowds down, so, it wasn't too bad. I was able to bag the jewelry in about 1 1/2 hours along with 4 quarters, 6 nickles, 10 dimes and 20 pennies.
I was surprised that the Explorer sounded off on the necklace with the bears on it, came in at foil and had a funky sound to it. The clasp stuck to my magnet, so, that may account for the sound.
The smaller braclet was made in Italy and is stamped .925. It was wadded up and sound off pretty good and read above the nickle reading on the smartfind screen. It was also still in on piece, clasped together. I'm not sure how they lost it, maybe fell out of their pocket ??,
The 3 earring like things were found in 3 different spots, but all read like a pulltaps, they too stick to a magnet, I'm not sure what they are. The 10k. gold pinky or toe ring read like tinfoil, but, had a more solid sound to it. It's about an 1/8" smaller in diameter than a dime. Here's a closeup of the ring too.
I think I'll keep the Joey in my arsenal now.
