2 silver coins and a crushed old (?) ring today!

Got out today for about 2 - 2 1/2 hrs...the weather was great! I went back to the park where I had found the 1851 Large Cent and MANY wheat pennies but no silver. I knew there had to be silver there somewhere and I was right! My best finds were a 1942 Washington Quarter and a VERY worn Standing Liberty Quarter with no readable date...my first SLQ..YAY!!!! I don't care if she"s worn down, she's beautiful! Also found an interesting older looking ring, not sure if it's silver or not as it has no markings on it. It was crushed pretty bad when I pulled it out of the ground. I think the stone is amber, I saw online that if you put it in a cup of salt water and it floats that it is real amber...I tried it and it floated. The stone was VERY loose in the setting and fell out and it also has a crack in it. Anyone know if amber is valuable at all? If it is (even if not...it just looks cool) I'll probably have it put in a new setting. Also found 9 wheat pennies a 1939, 46, 42, 57, 37, 47, 51, 46 and one I can't tell the date on. Other then that, a reflector and a couple odds and ends. Had a VERY cool and fun day!!!

Amber is very valuable....plus something you should hang on to as Amber is a great protective talisman and brings good luck!It is associated with time, cycles and longevity. Amber is also regarded as being highly sensual and magnetic. Amber insures very long enjoyment of the qualities that make the wearer attractive. Amber has long been associated with healing energy and mental stimulation, and is said to balance aggressive traits.

Very very cool find as well as your others
