Hey all,

Had an hour and a half or so to spare so I hit a curb strip permission I got this weekend. It was productive, here's the haul!

ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1524522604.897019.jpg

Tally:
-1 Merc (20)
-9 Wheats (19, 19S, 20, 27S, 30S, 40S, 42S, 44, 48S)

Can anyone help me identify this silver-colored object?

Rang up a bit low to be silver (12-33 to 12-35). The engraved letters are KLNKG.

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Great finds... a nice haul of S mint wheaties!

The piece might be a crushed silverplate napkin ring. It was common to have them monogrammed. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks CT! This puts me at 36 on the year. I'm moving at the end of June so I'm trying to make the most of my neighborhood until then. It's loaded with oldies!
