When someone tells you where they used to prospect, fish or toboggan, those words could be gold. Years ago, someone told me of a tobogganing hill somewhere in Edmonton where he used to go in the winter many years ago. Today I grabbed my Garrett Vortex detector and checked it out and was rewarded with gold and silver!
You just never know.......................
Out today on a cold windy blusterly day detecting a hillside with overgrown grass and sapplings. The 5 x 8 ripper coil mannages to slide through a lot of that overgrown grass producing the odd high signal.
It looks like the kids were having a great time doing many things.
An old gold filled locket came out of a hole. At first, I thought that it was just some sort of medallion. Upon closer inspection, I found a hinge at the bottom ad realized that it was made up of two halves. I carefully opened it up at home with a sharp blade and saw what was at one time......an old photo inside. I also dug up a vintage lipstick, which I managed to research and ID.
Two silver quartrs, both the same year gave a nice high audio in the high 80's. The metal plate came off an old pair of wooded skiis.
I had an excellent week getting gold. The river is lowest at this time of year exposing some rich gravel bars.
Happy halloween!
