Gold chains are tough to detect!:fisher:

The little dino is cute, that's the best it has going for it. Religious medal is a nice chunk of silver. The small chain marked 14k p was in the same hole as a Memorial cent. Dug up about another 6 square feet of turf looking for the rest of it. It was down in the dirt a couple of inches so pretty sure it was gold. May send it to Mud so he has a piece of gold for this year.:rofl: You know, to prime the pump a little. This stuff was dug this afternoon at a spot that has some pretty old dirt. A couple bucks in clad along with this was it for today. F 75 version 2. HH jim tn
 
You get Mud started on gold by priming the pump.............. we won't be able to live with him.....:rofl:
He'll be finding Gold coins by the sacks full ..:)
 
WOW! Jim. Looks like that 75 is doing a super job for ya. And the nut behind the wheel is pretty good too:clapping: Great hunt.----------IB
 
Well I'll be a Fiddlehead Fern! :drool: Jim found a gold chain while digging a penny! I bet that massive chain weighs about a half gram? Maybe less than that? Prob @ $10 worth?
Anyway, I suppose congratulations are in order 'cause you accidentally found a chain, and it was gold...what a lucky little truffle pig you are!:rofl:
What a trophy! You should frame it in a little shadow box made out of a folded up business card or something...?:rofl:
Mud

ps..Poor St Chris took quite a beating, Memphis is a tough town, he shoulda known better than to try to walk through there dressed like that!...
 
Silver and gold is good in my book.

See that loop/clasp on the end of the chain? That is what you hunt for when you hunt chains on purpose. Only a few detectors are good at that.

My Gold Bug Pro with NEL 5" Sharp or 5 x 10 coils will pick up that gold chain with a good repeatable signal even without that clasp and at several inches.
 
Ding ding! And round 1 starts.

(announcer) And the pressure is on! Jimtn throws the first jab into mudpuppy lightly slapping his pride.

Mudpuppy swoops back in with a sharp tongue and degrades the size and quality of the chain found....

Jimtn aka Tennessee Tornado is not to be wreckin' with out in the field as the F75 (with fins) is on his side....

mudpuppy aka wondermud aka Hershey Squirt ramps it up with his finless F70 wonder machine. How will the summer end folks? Who will come out on top? The summer gold quest 2015 is on.... :rofl:

Nice finds Jim. That is one thing I never found much of - thin gold chains. Now that I possess the AT Pro maybe that can all change. I wish you and mud the best in 2015.

Sure it will. Its a gold nugget detector. Stay in the sand or wood chips without a lot of trash and you can use it like a nugget detector. Move out into the turf parks and athletic fields and their trash content and its a different story. The F5 beats the Goldbug in those conditions for hunting gold chains or I should say hunting gold chain clasps.

:rofl: If I had found that tiny chain, I most certainly woulda ate it, along with the penny, just on the principle of the thing..!.:rofl:

Then, I would have saved the following mornings prolific and colorful droppings, carefully laid them out on a little cedar board, put it on the windowsill, let it dry out somewhat, shellacked it with a water based polyurethane, and put it up on ETSY for sale as some sort of 'art' representing the 'temporality of man and his relationship with metal and dirt'...probably woulda got $50 from some rich Hippy!...

Theres plenty of rich Hippys in Colorado now that might buy a turd infused with gold and copper I figure...a real conversation starter around a drum circle I would imagine, or make a nice gift!...:shrug::rofl:
Problem is, you cant count on a Hippy for nothing...they have no imagination, since its their reality...:sadwalk:

Uhoh, I have entered the danger zone. But I will pit my GBP against anything in the heavy tab infested parks where the jewelry is to be found in more abundance. The GBP does have ID but if your after jewelry you are going to have to dig everything above iron. Some of my wife's thin rings and earrings come in as foil. Dug a dozen gum wrappers a few weeks ago to find a pair of 14k earrings that were clasped together. Got both of the buggers.
 
I don't know why but my Tesoro Tiger Shark will hit good on those little gold chains but not so much with my upgraded f75ltd2. Being that they are close in freq., I don't understand it.

My F 75 version 2 will hit chain clasps, even give a little burp on this small piece one, but one would have to be a real serious inland jewelry hunter to go after it. TID was 10-12 on this small piece just laying on the grass. HH jim tn

Oh Thanks a lot Jim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you know how many sites I now need to revisit after you making that statement??? WELL DO YOU???
Well I just want you to know-------------------------------------------- I appreciate it. :thumbup: Sounds like the clasp should come in right above bobby pins and under small foil seals. That little burp tells it all and is why us audio hunters like to use very low discrimination---------Keep up the good work---------IB


PS---But what if the clasp is gold plated ?
 
Your p s is a question for the chain hunter grue, Mike Hillis. My method works best. Dig a Memorial reading and find a chain in the clog. :rofl: HH jim tn
