First gold of 2015 was this ![](http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/Detecting%20finds/EFD028AD-0212-40E8-80B6-D395300A1D7E_zpstlfz7t4e.jpg)
lil 1 .dwt bugger that kept falling through my scoop.![](http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/Detecting%20finds/712C3FC8-DB9F-4D98-9A25-95D9E064C5AD_zpse7ky3e1d.jpg)
We were visiting Tarpon Springs to visit my ailing father in law who's had a really rough time. I got in one 3 hour hunt at a county Gulf beach. Pretty barren of coins and keepers in and out of the water.![](http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/Detecting%20finds/D876242A-71BA-4DA5-A76D-29BA2E4B0A0A_zpsavggr23h.jpg)
As great as it was being in Florida again, from my view at this time of the year where we were - this is "late to the party" detecting. This place was cleaned up after the peak season. I was the only one in swim trunks, tank and actually IN he water. The locals wear coats when it's under 70. I love the weather there. This is dental gold, a mangled crown. It stood up to the 14K acid, I tested once back in CT. I stopped by my jeweler friend who also tested it and said it is at least 16K. The shiny areas are where I took file to it so I could get a look at the true color of the metal.![](http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/Detecting%20finds/B6EDE226-F2DA-4766-BCBF-94A6543345CD_zpsoyxf0vwh.jpg)
Now that my 2015 has started I will soon put up a pick of 2014's better finds. We have blizzard conditions forecasted for January 27 so this start for 2015 is a fizzle and the ground is like cement. When the snow cover melts the beaches are huntable...with the chisel point rock hammer I ordered.
