King-Of-Bling

If you find one that says 14k FG , it means Fake Gold.

I like the nugget on the right. It looks just like a sitting dog.

His "about half carat " diamond has magically grown to 1 carat. Never happened. Lol

Hmmm... can't find you , no pictures here either... sounds like this never happened. 🤣. Kinda like 1 of Tom's hypotheticals posts !

What happens when the jeweler looks it up and says "I found the owner" and then wants to confiscate it. What will you do then ?

I've learned a bit about nuggets now. That site does have some beautiful pieces and some big prices. For some who are into that I can see how it is natural art. But I would still like to find something like this , currently on display at the Golden Nugget , Laughlin. Nev.

That's a great question and wondered myself the same thing. I've seen where guys give me this elaborate sales pitch like it's some piece of art. People will only pay what it's worth to them , but Idk as fact. All I'm thinking is melt value when it comes down to it.

Dump the D2. The wide range of #s is why a few guys( after many attempts) have ditched it here in So.Cal...And we are not underwater hunters like you are. Many factors as you already know contribute to what gold jewelry will ring up as. Other machines are not immune either such as the Nox. But junk targets (anything not gold) and sucking air/time underwater is of concern. I sure do like my old DF as my sidearm , lol. Btw....nice rings !

Ahhh......Yes...back in the day ! I remember there was none of this Chineseum garbage around. It was silver , gold and copper. Pretty much in that order. Occasionally I would find gold plated , but because the price of metals/labor was so much cheaper , people could afford the good stuff.

I'm always on high alert when I go under that pier from 1 side to the next. They are often hiding and lurking in the shadows.

My experience on similar rings like that is SS. Possibly with a heavy plating. Magnet will get a slight attraction to it. Gold , platinum and Palladium will not do that.

Can't believe what I'm reading here. All you guys hiding receipts from the wife , being scared. Man-up I say ! Tell her what your going to buy and that's the end of it. I you got the right one she will be happy for you.

Yes. There is a FB group called Metal Detecting Arizona. A recent post with many pics show a guy and his buddy who repelled down into a shaft. He brings his detector and found a few things. Appears he does this often. Very interesting....

In regards to the European vs you 2 (known) US testers and them giving the greenlight on prototypes and you seeing major problems : Do you think some of their results vs yours could be the result of locations at all ? Specifically , soil and sand , mineralization , them being across the pond ? Or maybe it didn't matter and they were more biased , idk.

Another possibility that no one has considered is the sale of the company. I've seen this before 1st hand in business. A classic pump n dump. Could be the major shareholders/Ceo are in on it. ML has been VERY successful the last 5 years and the dollar has been strong compared to the Aussie. What better time to jack up the prices with their proven track record in all aspects and then sell it off ? I can say I told you so next year !😂
