Well, I thought I struck it rich today when the chain came out of the ground. It was laid out in a long line, just under the grass roots and took about 10 minutes of careful digging to extract it without breaking it. I did not take the time to examine it as there were a few people looking on, so in the pocket it went right away. The 3 wheats were all from about 6 inches deep. When I got home, the chain read "Guyay (I think) F 18K...I laughed as I looked at the links with a jewelers loop, and saw the flaking...I called it "Gay Fake 18K"...I was kinda bummed, as it weighs in at 15 grams. Would have been a good chunk of change if it was real...Oh well, at least I know I can find these chains...It was a one way signal reading between 12-08 and 13-07 at 2 inches. I will usually dig anything that shows a 12-08, as this IS where most of my gold has shown up...Lower than 12-08 is usually foil, and 12-10 thru 12-35 is usually junk...12-37-12-39 is where my Injuns show up when I find em...
HH,
