One little piggy went to the beach - this honk of silver did'nt come home...

Hello..

I did'nt have anything important to do today, and got borred in front of the computer. I decided to pack my gear, and go to the beach to do an experiment with some settings for the explorer I had been thinking about.

The experiment was not a success, so I changed it back to my normal hunting program.

I noted that there was a depression on the beach half a mile further down, and went in that direction, to scan the wet sand at the low tide line.

That appeared to be the right deciscion for today, and I got the 51 gram bracelet which Miss Piggy lost when she was here...

Stamps inside the bracelett say 925, and a makers mark which I can't read. - It has not been cleaned yet since I have just returned from my hunt.

The weather was perfect, the sun was shining, and I had a very nice hunt.

I've not found a bracelett like this one before, and since my spouse just discovered it, then I'm pretty sure I've allready lost it - It has happened before with finds which fits her in some way

I think I'll rest on the couch this evening - my arms and back are sore.

It was a blast of a day, and my Explorer was smoking hot on aluminium - that canslaw was everywhere, but the persistense payd off.

HH.

Thar's some nice silver...must have been a thrill to see it in the scoop!

It could be a ring from a medieval giant.... 51g, wow.

Man, if you sell that the market price of silver will go down! Congrats and HH!

Man, are your sure 51 grams? Looks like 5.1 grams unless your scale is HUGE. On my scale it would hang over the edges by far. Can you post a photo next to a quarter so we can see the size?

It's a postal scale - no decimals.

A new scale with decimals is on my wishlist, but I don't feel that .3 grams makes a diference when it's silver and this big.

I've enclosed a picture with the bracelet open, and with a ruler (Metric - divide by 2.5 for inches) and a 1973 dime.

It was a thrill to find it no gold this time, but I'm smiling anyway. Had so much fun yesterday, and this is the biggest piece of silver I've got.

Thanks everybody.

HH
