Went hunting for treasure with the whole family today near and on an old disused Long Island beach. The two highlights of the hunt were when I dug an intact Sterling-topped glass salt/pepper shaker and later my mom dug a huge solid Sterling silver creamer! The creamer was definitely the best find of the hunt. We all felt like pirates today, yar! :treasurechest::icon_pirat:

Holding the two best finds:

The still sandy Sterling Silver creamer (mom didn't want to take the compacted sand out for some reason, most is really stuck in there):laughing7: The scale says it weighs 36 grams, so without the sand it probably weighs about 30g:
