Sterling: Third Day In A Row

[Carolina Tom]

I found sterling rings on Sunday and Monday.

Slipped out last night to feed the mosquitos. My first two spots were not huntable, so I went to a spot that has given up a wheat cent or two in the past, it's an old house site.

Found a few modern coins, then a dog tag and a '44 wheat cent. I was about to throw in the towel when I got a choppy high tone, most assuredly another piece of can slaw. Out comes a folded in half leaf looking piece of metal, I unfolded it and can tell that it is a feather, silver with dark gray tarnish... HEY, wait a minute... I check the back and sure enough, it's marked. A bit of baking soda and a toothbrush made it shine again.

Thanks for looking and best of luck on your hunts!

It was a hat/lapel pin. It had a pin on the back, missing now, but the keeper was still in place.
Thanks Sub!

Way to go Tom, better hurry up and find Yankee Doodle and return his feather. You are spoiling yourself this week.
