Popular Post mn90403 Posted May 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2020 It was a different day and a different beach. The waves had pumped into this beach for a couple of days and it was time to go. I didn't hit the tide quite right but I have other obligations. When I got there someone was on the beach. I thought I'd lost the opportunity but they detected fast down near the water and they were gone by the time I set up to detect the cut. I don't know where they were going but they were gone and I did my thing. I located a penny line and dug a few of them and then I went in both directions for a bit before discovering my first quarters. That was a good sign and I was the only one around. It's a grid beach when objects can be found. Five days ago I had been on this beach and I couldn't even find any of the sailboat salvage items. I just kept working it with the limited 2 hours I had. Near the end I found a Wheat which is like finding hen's teeth on these beaches. I would have stayed a bit longer to finish the cut but about 300 yards in front of me someone had shown up. Normally this would make me very agitated but I just kept on trying to hear the good stuff mixed in with the salvage and then I got a high pitch variable at 28-31 and thought it would be another quarter. Down about 5 inches I dug up what looked like a piece of chain. Then I looked closely and it was jewelry. This is 3.7 ounces of .925 SILVER! I think it is the heaviest piece of silver I've ever found. It is chunky templar stuff. There has to be a couple of links (watch) missing because it is not very long. It's value is in the weight and now determining it is a band. It was a good couple of hours. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hillis Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 My thinking is that as long as you come home with precious metal you did good. HH Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. MI Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 What a great piece of silver. You had a good hunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 I just figured out it is a watch band with the curve of the metal and the holes for the watch pins. I wonder what watch had gone with this? It is very close to this: I don't see Chrome Hearts on it anywhere but it led me to this: So, I will clean it more and post a picture again. More to be learned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mn90403 Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 I've seen many of their examples now and believe this is a piece made by them. This is my cleaning progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
