1907 Silver 5¢, Amethyst, lots of clad

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

I love this hobby, not knowing what is comming out of the ground next, and the unexpected goodies that sometimes do.

This was a fairly serious dig, 6:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Yeah my shoulder knows it. The clad amount is quite ridiculous, a record amount actually.

The little 5¢ piece was one of those surprises, TID of 79 just like the pennies that were there.

This rather large ring came from a large field with almost no targets. There is no stamp, but had a TID of 80 both in the ground and out, the stone is real (has inclusions). As a comparrison the junk loop earing in the first pic has a TID of 57. I know it is a bad sign when a piece is not marked, but it is a fact that not all of it is.

Had a good week, with three old Silver coins, including the 1851 3 center from july 31.

Good luck out there.

I don't know how you had the energy to start a topic to show your finds! Six hours is enough to cripple me, kudos for your dedication. That ring looks "real", and it would almost have to be if the gem is genuine. Maybe the insignia wore off?

Go have yourself a party with all that clad! Well, maybe after a shower and a good night's sleep...

That was a long day, but it looks as though it was prosperous as well.

You could make a living off this hobby

That ring looks early 20th century maybe even late 19th century..
