Only had a couple of early morning hours so decided to hit my place from last summer I called "the clad factory" and it didn't disappoint. 2 wheats, (99 fty) 41 merc, a small sterling kids ring, and an absolutely beautiful honker of a sterling ring! (22 silver fty) plus over 8 bucks in clad. Thanks for looking and hh!! 20180422_095655.jpg 20180422_100028.jpg 20180422_080727.jpg 20180422_082630.jpg 20180422_082740.jpg 20180422_095728.jpg 20180422_095634.jpg 20180422_095615.jpg 20180422_095558.jpg 20180422_112040.jpg

Thanks, this place was killer for me last summer. 50+ silver coins/jewelery, well over $150 in clad, and roughly 200 wheats. It was an old public swimming pool turned into a lot, now it's a park

Great sterling ring, I really like the style with black stone. I’d dig that many holes just for that Merc

One of the finest sterling rings on the site in recent history. Congrats on the killer finds. Sub 8-)

Nice finds Cjon. That is one sturdy looking ring.

Holy cow, eight bucks in clad?! Oh yeah, the other stuff is okay too....
Seriously though, GREAT JOB! I would LOVE a day like yours!
Thanks Tom, it's a bit much on the knees up and down up and down lol
That makes for a fun day of hunting. Great finds!
thank you, it was a fun one!

Wow, that is a beauty. Nice job on the clad haul too!
thank you!

again with the awesome stuff! yes, it is a very beautiful ring but the other ring is nice too. always sweet to see a merc and the tiny toy pistol is pretty cool too. You have pulled a lot of awesome stuff out of that place. congrats
thank you, it was a great spot last year. Construction has limited my hunting area now

Hi, some nice finds. That is really a nice looking silver ring you found. Congrats:icon_thumleft:
thank you Brendan

i like the gun
lol thanks, it's plastic but it was in with one of the clad dimes

Great sterling ring, I really like the style with black stone. I’d dig that many holes just for that Merc
thank you! This is a weird place you have to dig a ton of clad to find the occasional keeper it used to a public swimming pool in the 1950s

Absolutely love finding old, well crafted jewelry! Very nice!
And your "clad factories" are vastly different from mine! ;)
Nice job!
thanks Gary! Too bad this place isn't a tiny fraction of how good it used to be, recent Construction severely limited where I have to hunt on this place, although you couldn't tell from all the clad I've dug! This would have been a good spot for your trip up here
