Don’t know if it’s real

[Metal Maniac]

Went to a local lake today with the Vortex VX9. I got a signal that was bouncing from 49 to 54 on the VDI , I thought that’s gold range. I didn’t get it on the first scoop ,still missed it on the second scoop. Finally got it on the third scoop. It’s a monster. It’s stamped 14k. I think it is junk because of how tarnished it is. The original clasp must’ve busted off because it’s held together with a stainless steel clasp. I was in about 3 1/2 to 4 feet of water.

Sorry to hear its junk. Now the good, finding targets like that one means there is some good stuff near or possible.
Craig will back me on this, after you have been blessed several years you get this sense of knowing real from the fake fairly fast....
