| Bracelet Found by Dan B. |
Dan sent the following email along with the accompanying photos.
Today was just one of those spectacular days. I truly don't get them very often and today was one of the best. My family was away for the holiday and I stayed back for work...so I decided to go out and do some more hardcore hunting and was rewarded over and over.
I spent hours walking the river. All the rain and wind had transformed the area quite a bit. The water was very high and there was a lot of material and bottles to look through. I walked much further than I have ever been and found a bottle dump that I never knew existed full of beautifully colored glass and ceramics from probably the turn of the last century.
On my walk back I I was purposely looking for things roadside when a golden bracelet blinked at me from many feet away. It was on a concrete culvert where some kids were probably sitting. I knew it was gold by the clasp right away and was really thrilled to find such a nice piece.
As I was driving South and examining the piece, I realized that not only had it been crushed but it was missing an ending. I first thought it was just a crushed loop that was missing but then it hit me. I tried the bracelet on my wrist and it wasn't even close to fitting. So I assumed and hoped there was a chunk missing in the grass. I went and looked (with some curious onlookers) and after failing to find it I looked at a video I had taken to identify the exact spot. When I did, I looked in the right area and wham! Another nice section of bracelet. So thrilling.
But that wasn't it.. and I apologize for the long windedness but it will be worth the read.
I then proceeded to a favorite railroad area that has been very good to me in the past. This time rigged with both coils instead of just the sniper I have been using for years. I got setup with the lager coil and set to just get some swing time.
I first checked the bracelet on my AT pro and was very very surprised to get a 41/42 reading which is clearly in the foil region. That is especially good to know but painful at the same time if you know what I mean. Would have never imagined. Of course I am yet to test the bracelet but I have no doubts of it's authenticity.
So as if my day wasn't already thrilling enough, I just started to find stuff left and right because of the depth abilities of the larger coil. I also have to confirm this but my results were contradictory to my expectations in high iron spots. I thought for sure that a smaller coil would be better for trash spots but I cleaned up today in nail alley with that standard coil for the AT pro. (Working on theories for those observations)
And I was digging some very deep holes.
Out of all of the targets, the only thing I can't identify is the tiny rectangular box that would slide open.
I would love to hear anyone's thoughts on the mystery box and what might be inside. I hope you enjoyed sharing my adventure. Good stuff
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
And Happy Holidays.

As you can see, a small surf is expected for the next week. The high tides will still be pretty high though.
I'd like to see some good low tides.
