Metal Detector Test

Hi Friends,

I recently mentioned that I had bought a metal detector and I took it out on a test run last weekend.

I bought the detector to find gold nuggets but I decided to get it going and get familiar with it by combing a riverbank where a lot of people swim.

I spent an hour walking around and found a lot of junk, here is what I found:

Most of it was garbage, but I did find a quarter and three pennies so that was cool. I also found an earring, which I am claiming is a diamond earring!

I nicknamed the location I found it as Diamond Earring Cove, but my wife is calling it Costume Jewelry Cove - not sure which is actually correct... what do you think?

A fun time, and I look forward to getting on the gold grounds.

Thanks for coming by,
Brian

I've always wanted to have a metal detector, you can find very valuable objects and if not at least it's fun!

Very true! Should be fun to have!

The fun thing about treasure hunting with a metal detector, is that you just never know what you might find! I think your wife's name for the cove might be more accurate, but hey, you're allowed to dream! Let us all know what you find in the future! One man's junk is another man's treasure, plus you might get really lucky! Take care and thanks for sharing!

Yeah, it probably is fake - I don’t even know how to test it either! Thanks for coming by!

😎👍

Very nice @brian.rrr...It might be real, and you never know what that next find might be!🤗

Keep searching, @brian.rrr. You are going to find a Gold Diamond ring that was lost long ago.

You'll never know what will turn up!
I once lost a very precious ring by the San Francisco beach, because I was foolish enough to remove it before going to the waters (cold, hehehe). I was young.
To this day, I wonder what happened to it, I hope someone finds it.
A metal detector will!

Sooo… which beach was this very valuable ring lost at stain 🤔

Ocean Beach!

Oh, about the jewelry...
that's costume jewelry.
If it was real, the sides of the stone will be exposed.
Your wife knows!

Doh! I can dream though can’t I?? 🤪

Hahahahaha... Costume Jewelry Cove ... AWESOME 😂 I kind of figured you would find some interesting stuff. You did a good deed at the same time, cleaning up the environment at the same time. Better luck next time!!!

Thanks! I need to do some googling to figure out how to test if a diamond is real or not!
