Sometimes it pays to be stubborn! Last year, I found a Sterling silver rosary in the woods next to my house. It was in a 1930's dump that had Model A Ford parts, bottles and many other religious items as well. Why anyone would throw away their religious items is beyond me.
The rosary was really nice, but it was missing the crucifix. So I've checked out this spot at least 10 times over the past year. Never found the crucifix, until today! It was 7 inches down and in with some nails, which is why I didn't find it sooner. The fact that we've had a lot of rain over the last two days may have helped as well.
Here's some pics. It cleaned up really nice, but I'll have to clean it at least once more to get the last of the tarnish off.
