Todays group hunt netted some keepers. 4 wheats, a 35S Buff, a 1922 Canadian nickel, a wing pendant, and costume ring that is marked 14K but certainly is not! Neat thing about the Canadian nickel is that up till 1921 they were silver (fish scales) 22 was the first year of the new size, the 21 fish scale is rare and valuable, and unlike the US 75% copper 25% nickels, this one is 99% nickel. Nice day had a good time!

Bummer on the fake gold but keep at it as you're doing fine and may real gold and a 21 fish scale peek up at you soon!

Love the Nickle from Canada. I assume that since the ring is fake that the diamond is as well?
Nice finds Mike

Great bunch of finds ya got there Mike :thumbsup: I haven't found a Canada nickel like that one but I have found a few of the fish scales, seems those old nickels like that are tough to find.
