My last 5 outings have yielded nothing more than a few dollars in clad, but today made up for it. Changes in the beach opened up some deeper layers where this honker was hiding, still more than 12" deep. A shade over 0.9 troy oz. of pure platinum . It's somewhat scarred up, but that doesn't bother me a bit!

Wow that's just amazing! A friend of mine is a jeweler and he made his wedding band of plat. I don't think It weighs that much but its a good 15-20 grams. I was amazed how heavy it was when he dropped it in my palm! It rang up 12-42 on the ctx! WOW very high!

Right you are, and I took that into account. 29.76 g alloy X 0.03215 troy oz/g = 0.957 troy oz alloy. X0.950 (plat/alloy) = .909 troy oz pure platinum.

Feels like a chunk of lead but it's a great Halloween treat!

I don't understand why everyone here thinks this thing is so big?



It has to be one of the smallest Platinum bracelets I have ever seen!


Awesome find!
