3.5 gram "Create" power pendant made of fine silver and copper.
Volley ball courts are usually fertile hunting grounds. Earrings, pendants, coins and rings are always getting lost there. At this one I found a small amount of garbage, around $2 in change and this cool small silver pendant.

Silver with the Garrett Infinium Advanced Pulse Induction metal detector

The rest of the stuff from about 45 minutes of hunting. The Sterling pendant was found almost a foot down in black mud.

If you can imagine the hardened sand and oxidation completely encasing the pendant, that is how I found it.


The small parts with the imprint of the pendant I peeled off are Silver Oxide and Sand that formed over time from the salt water (I am guessing here)

A small "sterling" stamp on the back confirms Silver! - On my portable scale, wt= 3.2 Grams
After cleaning with "Tarnex", Saint. Jude... patron saint of "Lost Causes". Ironically with all the trash in this area, I was thinking just before I found it, that searching here may be "a lost cause". so I was digging only lo-high signals.
