It's a bit damaged but I also used the pin pointer to pull out 6 broken bits of gold chain too. It looks old and was probably a thin 9ct locket with brass inserts File Attachment(s): 2012-09-13 17.51.05 [Desktop Resolution].jpg

NZPoohbear it was about 20 metres from where you found that old silver necklace piece wink wink :) Hoping the rain stays away tomorrow as am planning on going back to a spot I was at last Sunday...done more bottle digging and ground probing than detecting and found some 1880 ring seal beers and 1 blue medicine all complete, as well as fragments of old crocks, stoneware, english pottery....I can't wait! Cheers Dan
