NCtoad Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Got out to the lowered lake on Saturday which happened to be my birthday. Got this ring which wad missing the stone. It doesn’t have any markings anywhere, but it looks like it tests at 14k. I also got a small .925 heart bracelet and 925 stud earring which I forgot to get pics of but will add later. No silver coins this time but 9 wheats and a buffalo nickel. As a bonus got $6 something in clad. more pics of the ring. All shown are 14k Acid test. Left to right: 10k, 14k, 18k acid A muddy mess. Very, very hard to get around to detect in that slimy, sinky clay! Another ring pic Here’s a pic of the bracelet and earring after I attempted cleaning them.

Valens Legacy Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Nice job on the finds at that mud hole. Next time try some snow shoes to keep you from sinking so much. Good luck on your next outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TampaBayBrad Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 That place looks like it would swallow you up quicker than a burger at my dog's nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolofhardNox Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Take full advantage of that lowered lake. I missed a huge opportunity to hit one that was that way for a year, enough time for vegetation to grow back. A very healthy amount of gold you got there 🥰. Sweet finds! I hope you can get out there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent analogy and so true! That stuff is really soft clay. Your foot sinks in 6 or 8 inches and it requires a lot of effort to get it out!
