1940`s house yard gold and silver

[jsu]

Got out this weekend to search a 1940`s house yard found a couple of things.The yard was really nice and clean (hardly any junk other than the aluminum can that got shredded by a lawnmower in one side of the yard)which made it easy detecting.Found a 10k mens ring with a stone in it that i cant identify.Also a military medal and a pin that i need some help identifing.The pin has W.B.C on it.Found a couple of coins from the 40`s and some clad.Also a toy soldier which appears to be made of lead.I guess back then it was okay to let your kids play with lead.Thanks for checking this out.HH

Awesome finds! Yes the soldier is lead, my father had a kit when he was a child that was marketed towards young boys that made soldiers. Had all kinds of molds of soldiers, lil electric pot to melt the lead in, etc. My father is a lil' slow in the head now...........walks into walls a lot & argues with the toaster but im sure its not cause of the lead. Ive been known to scream at the microwave occasionaly so im sure it just runs in the family.
Very nice finds though, Gratz! Id go back & hit that yard in all metal mode!
