Got permission to hunt an old homestead that included two-three wooded acres.
The owner told me the original house was built in 1885-1920.
Couldn't believe it when this popped out of the ground.
It ain't solid Gold,but I don't care. image.jpg
Gold filled is usually 5% gold by weight.
During the mid to late Victorian period, gold filled jewelry was very common and was manufactured in large numbers. The scarcity of gold and the rise of commodities through the industrial revolution drove this demand.
