I have not been getting out very much lately due to my tennis elbow, working 6 days a week and just being plain busy with family and friends. I had already scouted this site out a little while back and was waiting for more favorable conditions to hit it . .Two and a half days of rain softened this hillside wooded park area just right .I was getting a lot of signals and I was finding more clad mixed with Wheaties and Indians than I thought I would on this fairly steep in town slope . After 4 and a half hours I ended up with 8 early Wheaties 1- 1909, 1-1914, 1-1916 , 1 1917 , 1- 1918 2- 1919's and a 1925 . Three Indian head pennies, 1- 1892 , 1- 1895 , and 1- 1904 . One 1906 V nickel in bad shape . I figured the find of the day was going to be the heavy sterling silver watch chain marked ( W W C ). Which is the trademark of William Walter Cashmore. Who was in bussiness as a Silversmith, in Birmingham England from 1908- 1933 . I found this in the same hole as two Wheaties and one Indian head penny. The chain weighed in at 26.2 grams :icon_sunny: . It was my best find until I spotted the gold ring still sitting a little out of the ground . It seemed that I eyeballed and detected it with my machine simultaneously . Turns out to be a 1945 Cheverus high school class ring weighing in at 7.5 grams .Marked Balcor 10K :icon_sunny: on the inside . No name inscription on the ring so it might be tough to track down the owner . I also found two lead seals 1-marked B&M . Boston & Maine Railroad Seal and the other marked " NYC HRRR " .New York City, Hudson River Railroad Seal . A few buckle pieces , another small piece of silver jewelry . A gold plated cufflink with a Saxon cross design on it. and my second Portland Railroad button this year and third one overall. The strangest find of the day was the pewter temple piece . I found one similar to this one last year. The one I found last year was made of brass not pewter . I am going to post them both in what is it and see if we can figure out exactly what these temples were for Thanks for looking MaineRelic

M.R. Thanks Doug ! I had to go back outside and look at that button and I think you are right ! It is Marylin Monroe ! It says " The Seven year Itch " Which I believe is a Movie she starred in ! Here is a better pic of your girl Doug ! M.R.

I want a pin back button like that!

Sucks to be you--now you have to go out and buy a watch for that great chain. Unless you find one quick.
