A PRETTY AMAZING FIND!!!!!…..

[Mike from MI]

I was detecting with 5 friends last week when I stumbled upon a find that still has me shaking my head. We were searching an overgrown semi wooded area. After finding a bracelet partly exposed in the leaves then another one I figured I might just be on to something interesting. Well that thought soon came true as I started removing piece after piece of jewelry, coins, and many misc items from the dirt. I dug these items for two hours, went back the next day for another 1.5 hours and then spent 2 hours cleaning and sorting. It sure was fun finding all of this and sharing the adventure with my friends. In total there are over 160 items including at least 4 gold rings, a gold ear ring, gold ear ring back, and one gold filled ear ring. Also 3 silver rings, 3 silver ear rings, and a silver bracelet. There are several vintage jewelry items and the rest of the jewelry is mostly costume. There were 11 Mexican coins 7 of which are half dollar sized or bigger. This stash/cache of jewelry and misc. items is a find I won't soon forget.

Great find Mike! A cache of jewelry is on my wish list. To bad it couldn't have been all gold for ypu.

Sweet finds to say the least. Amazing how many jewelry pieces you found in a small area. Makes you wonder how all of it was placed there.

Makes a fella want to know more about the history of the area! ...Can't even imagine finding THAT many keepers in THAT SHORT a time!!

You should still be patting yourself on the back over that haul.
