Unboxed the 540 tonight and strapped on the 5x8,,,had it listed in the classifieds but it’s old news already so I figured I’ll use it.
I live across from a pre 1920s church,and at night the property is all mine to hunt.. Made a lot of great finds over the years there, and still do occasionally.
Tonight was the usual old clad,then a deep 12 on the vanquish. About 7 to 8 inches and out popped this piece of bling.. ran a little water over it in the sink and that’s the end result,lots of dirt still in the crevices of the pearl though.. There somthing missing from the back,either a clasp or like a cufflink snap,but I don’t think it’s a cufflink with a pearl in it. I think it’s gold,no flaking and it’s kinda heavy for the size of it. Can’t locate a hall mark but I think it coulda been on the clasp that’s missing. Always cool to find bling, if it’s gold I don’t know but for now it’ll go in the gold box...Vanquish 540 is deep,even with the 5x8

Nice, Hope it is gold. :thumbsup:

Side note, how do you detect at night? :shrug: obviously some kind of headlamp, but even so its hard enough to locate targets in the daylight, ....:lookclose:

sweet find! even "old clad" gets the heart racing! I find that I get excited with any "deep" reading on the vanquish! keeps me in the game! just sayin'
