Did a couple short digs this weekend in a town park that was a former homesite. My favorite find is the sterling dragon cufflink, which is my first. Since this appears to be a "bean back" style cufflink, it might be early 1900s. (I knew nothing about cufflinks, and found this short YouTube video to be helpful - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-q4PyedLSss ). Silver coins include the well worn 1908 Barber and a decent 1925 Mercury. The Indian Head pennies are all later date coins. I cleaned three of them with peroxide, but must have left them in too long, as they have rusty looking pitting on them. (My cleaning skills stink!) The 1894 that I cleaned with a toothpick only looks real nice to me though. The Wheats are nothing special, but include a couple earlier dates (1915 and 1917). Not sure how old the pendant is, though it looks interesting to me. The metal buttons rang up like pennies, and have no markings. Maybe from undergarments? Thanks for checking out my post. Happy hunting, and good luck out there.
