Hello everyone, Its been a while since I've posted but as this hobby never ceases to amaze me I thought this was pretty cool.
Flash back to March 2013 where I posted half a silver bracelet {First 2 Pics} recovered during a dig at a seasonal spot that only opens up during winter months and only a few times at that. I find a lot of 19th century coins,keys,etc. here. I think the bracelet may also be of that era as it shares the same mottled surface that many of the old coins do from being pummeled in the sand and gravel and the design of the face itself. Opinions welcomed.
Fast forward to Sat. last while hunting for the first opening of this spot this year I was getting lots of pennys and fishing weights when i got the high pitch of silver. To my amazement I had found a piece of the same bracelet found nearly 3 years ago! I couldn't believe it! Upon closer inspection I realize I had only a portion of the missing 1/2. Bummer. Posted are some coins found also 1899 Barber Q.,1945 Walking Liberty,v nickle,silver washington.
Today was as cold as it gets here, Got cabin fever and geared up for the hunt. Two fishing lures and a Walking Liberty later and I got another silver signal and when I checked my scoop I saw THE THIRD MISSING PIECE OF THE BRACELET! Really? Can't beat this hobby!
HH Enjoy the pics.

That's some National Treasure stuff right there - finding one piece at a time and then slowing putting the whole puzzle together until it's complete!
So cool! :occasion14:

Yep, that's amazing. When did the pounding surf break that bracelet up? How far apart were the 3 pieces spread over the years and who would think that all 3 pieces would eventually be found by the same treasure hunter??
Congrats.
