First Gold with the 705 Gold. 44 gram 18K bracelet

[RolandDeschain]

I have about 50 hours on my 705 Gold will the 5 X 10 elliptical . In the local park, sens 30 , all metal, 3 tone. Vid was a solid 16 and did not move from that at 90 degrees. Bracelet was 2 -3 inches in the ground with just the tip showing in the top of the plug. I am not an expert on this so I went to a gold calculator to convert 44 grams of 18K. It says that equals 33 grams of solid gold. Is this thing really worth $1241.98? Funny, no engraving or it wore off. I resized the picture and hope it shows ok. 18K stamp is very clear.

Congratulations on a spectacular first!

Awesome awesome find. Doesn't it false at 30 sensitivity ? Also, since you were in all metal, were you digging everything past iron ?

 

[RolandDeschain]

Hi Mike, sometimes it does false at 30, but this ground was surprisingly clean for a park. I was not digging everything over iron. What I Was doing was if I could do a narrow wiggle and tease out a good number I would dig it. Even though the wiggle number would clip or drop on a 90% pivot , I would still dig it. This one was rock steady at 16. Does that gold converter make sense to you?

 

[Jackpine Savage]

The conversion is correct. At just over one Troy oz. that is one heavy bracelet! Congrats.

So the local gold shop offered me $926 for this 44 gram 18k bracelet. Should I take it or try one of those places that you send FedEx or Ups for an appraisal?

Melt value at ARA here in Dallas is $1267. I wouldn't take $926, but that's just me...

Wow thats a super nice find, congratulations.

If your set on selling it I would offer it up on one of the classified forums. Since you know the melt value I would say you should be able to sell that easily for $1100-1150.
That puts a good bit more in your pocket over the jewelers offer and still gives the buyer a great purchase. Theres a lot of people who like to buy and put away.

Look at that reading too...16
