Would a Pirate's treasure chest be a banner find?

UPDATE: The little ring that used to have a stone? Tested positive for 14 kt gold today. How about those apples!? :)

Had gold in the hand and didn't even know! LOL

If it had been marked it looks like it must've been worn for a long time and wore off. It does appear to be of an old style. 1.73 grams.

Even so, I kind of like the little pirate. I suspect that it's old too. Looks to me like a hand painted little trinket. Some sort of strange base metal, not lead, maybe pewter. It looks like it might have been gold plated too.

Just thought I'd share!

HH!


Since I saw how small a gold dollar really is, I've been listening closer to what my detector has been telling me. I even asked it to find me a treasure chest today. This is what it found for me:

I gotta admit, it did as I asked. :) LOL

Still listening for small, iffy signals I got this one that was "clearly another pull tab". :)

Only, it wasn't. :)

A little later and another "clearly a pull tab signal". ;)

Only, it wasn't :) LOL
Looks like it held a stone at one time too.

I haven't tested this yet but I suspect silver. Still, the style of the ring kind of looks to me as an old one. Anyone? :dontknow: (sorry about the black and white pics)

Anyway, a fun little hunt.

Thanks for peeking.
