BIG VICTORIAN GOLD BRACELET! & NEW GOLD RING..MUDFINDS:
Hi all!
Haven't posted in a while, been busy working,
everyone wants things done before winter
Here's some stuff I got from the flats recently.
Probing in some pasty deep mud, I recovered what I thought was just a large wire ring, stuffed it in the junk pocket.
After my hunt was finished, I rinsed my finds at a nearby home and discover it is a bracelet, buffed it a little, and it got mighty shiny.
Stopped at my coin dealers shop on the way home,
it tests between 10 and 14K, weighs 27.8 grams,
and I'm guessing it's Victorian, nice snakeskin pattern
Not enough gold...
I dig an 'Artcarved' 14K band at 4.3 Grams, My first plain wedding band.
(as I was pulling this, the adjacent homeowner was advising me to search another area of the bay, because 'nothing ever happened here, the water is too shallow'
Apparently, things did happen here, US Navy padlocks, numbered equipment tags,
lots of Spanish war era Ammo, & the '01-05 Artillery Cap pin found at this site.
Another ring, Copper Greek Orthodox I assume, Alpha & Omega....
An old Pewter coin/medal/planchet, no details visible under the pebbling.
Clockwork ratchet on a wooden shaft, that's an oldie.
A little dustpan, for sweeping crumbs from the table between courses
Various other items, no scrap pile pic today...
Nice mud hunting, seems if I give it a rest, new stuff comes out every time.
Thanks for looking! HH to you All
