3 Gold, 1890 IH Penny, 1917 Buf, Wheat's, and more.

These are my finds from the 3 previous Sunday’s. They came from demolition, playground or swimming sites. The gold heart ring was down about 6 inches, give or take an inch, and looks to be homemade, by a hobbyist jeweler. It has no mark, but my test says it's at least 14k. The other 2 gold items are marked 10k for the frog earring, and 14k for the angle cut ring.

The Indian head penny is dated 1890 and the buffalo nickel is dated 1917 (sorry for the junky photos). I found two old eagle buttons. One is marked with a weather catalog number or something. The Colonel insignia is marked 1/20 SF (silver fill), and the butterfly clasp is marked 925. The small face charm looks to be silver too. It also looks like it was attached to something. I also got a few wheat’s, as well as 27 clad quarters, 42 dimes, 36 nickels and about 207 pennies.

I also found an IPOD suffle, and it looks to be in good shape.

Last but not least are my old marble finds, a bennington and what I think is a white quartz mineral marble, but I'm not sure.


Thanks for looking and gold luck.

Ant,
Nice finds. Congrats on the Gold...I had to laugh when I saw the frog. It reminded me of a video someone just showed me on YouTube. It was under Family Guy Bullfrog. I don't know if you have the same sense of humor as me but I was crying from laughing so hard.

Again congrats and happy hunting.

WooWee, Ant! You got quite a variety of AWESOME keepers! I don't know if I could pick just one of those items to be my favorite! :P Fantastic gold, buttons and pin! LOVE that blue marble, though!

Always a great post from Ant!

Hey thanks everybody. I have 3 more gold to post, and some other stuff too.

Thanks again.

Time has a lot do with it, but site choice does too as far as production as does knowing your metal detector. The last couple of months I have only hunted on Sunday.

But the finds in this post honestly represent about two 8 hour days with rest periods and lunch.

Oh, having an understanding wife in my case, or husband helps.
