Popular Post devilsrenegade Posted August 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2019 Hunted an old transient camp along the river yesterday that I have been eyeballing for quite a while. It paid off after about 10 min. with this 925 eagle pendant. Found the usual brass cartridges, bullets and some modern clad also. I used my vintage tesoro bandido umax, garrett pro find pinpointer and homemade prospector pick. The pendant was found a couple feet from where I parked the bike by the tree. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyy Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Nice work. Some of my biggest gold could have been found with a detector from Radio Shack. Location is everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB_Amateur Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Nice! Lot of detail on that pendant, and I wonder why the double loop attachment. To my eye this looks a little large (and probably too detailed) to be from a charm bracelet. Hope you're being careful with that pick. I take it the ground is really hard and rocky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the double loop attachment is for possibly leather or braided cord, not a traditional chain. As for the pick, I brought it because I've never hunted that area before and was unsure what the digging conditions would be. The ground was actually fairly soft where the pendant was found. It was about 4" deep and I think it has been there maybe 5 yr's or less judging by the oxidation. The condition of the find shows how careful I was in recovering it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
