UNUSUAL FIND

ONE DAY I WAS DREDGING IN AN OLD LAKE SWIMING AREA? WITH MY COIN DREDGE AND THIS WAS SHINING AT ME IN THE SUNLIGHT IN MY SLUICE BOX.? ?I WONDER WHAT KT GOLD WAS USED TO MAKE THE PARTIAL PLATE?? IT REALLY IS A GOOD CONVERSATION PIECE, TO SAY THE LEAST.

I found these at a 1948 United Airlines Crash site? By the way, SWANIE1, they are 22 Karat. I was told all Dental Gold is 22K with the exception of Fillings being 10K

Jeff of PA,

YEP Thats the Crash RON,? JOLIETT is a very small Village, in the S.W. Corner of Schuylkill County, right off Interstate 81, between tremont and Tower city, on the Top of a Mountain. the Ring on the left comes from there also

Jeff,
I was told 16 Kt on the dental gold. I have some at home, I guess I'll have to take it and test it now. 8)

[jeff of pa]

Coinshooter, I had mine tested at 2 different places . they are definately 22K <><> BEEKROCK, after talking to People still living, & relatives of other Locals who were there the day of the Crash, and Newspaper articles, My belief is the Suitcase (Package) Went up in flames during the EXPLOSION.( the aircraft hit a 66,000 Volt Substation Transformer ) Packets of Partially Burnt Bills were picked up by Fire Personele & the CIVIL AIR BOARD. and Most of the Shipment of Diamonds were also picked up, as that package mainly stayed in one spot. everything else was scattered all over the mountainside. WE WERE GIVIN one year unlimited access to search the site. http://www.geocities.com/welkerlots/beryl.htm Hopefully the story will be in W&E this year, we're hopeing either BEST FINDS or SILVER & GOLD ANNUAL
