Nice decorative bobby pin finds, wildcarrot.

They look to be in very good condition.

The only ones that I find are rusty.

The only kind of bobby pins I wouldve liked to find

That's why I dig everything at the beach with my PI. Bobby pins usually double-beep on my machine. I dig them anyway. I have a magnet zip-tied to my scoop to collect them. I always hope that it will turn out like your find! Nice !!!!!

Best boppy pins I ever seen....

Are the pins themselves marked silver or gold? Have you tested the stones to see if they are real? Surely, one would not put a diamond on a plain steel bobby pin.?. I would think the pins would be gold or at least silver, and since they seem to be in good shape, maybe they are. Remember too that not all gold is marked. I had some custom 14k earrings made for my wife and they are not marked and I have found two rings that are not marked and test 14k. I also have a family ring that has been passed down for 4 generations now and it is not marked but tests 14k. The ring has been resized a couple of times and I think that is how the "k" mark went away, it was cut out with the resizing. Nice find however it turns out. Wish I could be hunting, but family duties call. HH, and Merry Christmas. Beach Papa

Beach Papa there aren't any markings but I'm sure they are just for fun. With a loop you can see a little rust/corrosion on the pins....the stones are way to perfect to be real.
Happy Holidays to you too.
