Finally something worth posting!! Up to now I've found nothing but trash on the beach and clad. This morning I hit the beach at 5am and hit the wet sand at low tide. My first signal was a 12-22 and out popped what I'm pretty sure is a white gold pendant. I don't see a mark and I don't have my loupe with me but it's heavy and not corroded and hits on the ctx where gold would. I'll get it tested when I get home from vacation. Ty for looking and HH!

Good Luck on that one CW...hard to say without any kind of hallmarks...even then a guy doesnt really know for sure sometimes...sometimes there just NO DOUBT regarding gold...A find like that one could go either way...if theres a jewelry store nearby, take it in there for an evaluation?...

Well, stay on those signals and let us know what you discover!

It's not copper and it's not silver for sure, I'll get it tested asap. I get up every morning at 4:45 to beat the crowds

Agree with Kapi

Doesn't look like gold, you didn't even get the silver metal Vic, :lol: , however have a good time on vacation, Myrtle Beach is usually sanded in, you have better odds with the girls their bro., check out the Sundown Sports Pub , in Surf side beach bro., good luck in your venture for gold, Earl

Junk Metal

Found enough of it Vic, not even plated , if plated gold, usually it would have marking's, listen keep up the good work, look for the low spot's if any, holes, washed out sand, and THE GIRLS :shock::lol: , enjoy yourself young man, have a good time, Earl BY the way, what number's on the CTX3030 does it register when you air test it ?
 
Could be white gold if it came out of the sand looking like your pics. If it was plated base metal, you'd likely see some flaking.

Looking at how it broke, the marks could be on the connector between the pendant and the chain. This gold pendant isn't marked on the pendant itself.
