Title: 4Khz find with large coil Post by: rjm on November 20, 2011, 04:55:04 PM I found this using the 4khz frequency as it's supposedly very good on thicker silver and it got me this on Friday afternoon, and a silver locket the previous time out. I just need to work out a gold frequency now! ;D.

It weighs 9.5 grams and is 5 cm wide (2 inches) Any ideas what it is. Looks like a top off something.

Nice chunk of silver - well done. Plus the Bluebirds did Reading on Saturday so a great weekend all round for you! And me might I add!

It's not the same, but by gosh, it's almost. Even has the secondary item numbers on the case inside similar to mine. I believe your suggestion is now a shut case! ;D Thanks! :) Title: Re: 4Khz find with large coil Post by: outlaw on November 20, 2011, 07:40:30 PM Well done Bob, i am still getting to grips with the Deus ;D
