Went out today to an old place i have hunted befor but got nothing.
As i was leaving town i noticed the sidewalk by the courthouse was taken up and had not been replace yet!!!!!
I got 2 silver war 5 cents 44d and 43p,2 1917 wheats,a 1940 &45 wheats,1867 IH,a Kennedy half 1971,2 brass bearings??,the front of an eagle button,and a small 14k locket with initials on both sides and a small gold plated post.Oh and the usual old marbel!!!
The locket has a mark inside that says esiage 14k.Anyone know this mark

yea the locket was col to find but just a reminder it did read like a pulltab...but since it was under the sidewalk i was digging everything tthat wasnt metal.
oh and the spooky thing,the 1st war nickle was found in the sidewalk area in front of a newly constructed war vet memorial that is being dedicated the 14th.
It list all the people from union county,ohio that have given there lives in service from the civil war to the current wars.

As far as the hallmark for the locket, only jewelers with registered hallmarks can stamp items with the carat designation of the gold. In this case, 14k is the percentage of gold and esiage is most likely the registered hallmark (name) of the company that produced the locket.
