BIG VICTORIAN GOLD BRACELET! & NEW GOLD RING..MUDFINDS:

Hi all!
Haven't posted in a while, been busy working,
everyone wants things done before winter :help:

Here's some stuff I got from the flats recently.
Probing in some pasty deep mud, I recovered what I thought was just a large wire ring, stuffed it in the junk pocket.
After my hunt was finished, I rinsed my finds at a nearby home and discover it is a bracelet, buffed it a little, and it got mighty shiny.
Stopped at my coin dealers shop on the way home,
it tests between 10 and 14K, weighs 27.8 grams,
and I'm guessing it's Victorian, nice snakeskin pattern :hello2:

Not enough gold...
I dig an 'Artcarved' 14K band at 4.3 Grams, My first plain wedding band.
(as I was pulling this, the adjacent homeowner was advising me to search another area of the bay, because 'nothing ever happened here, the water is too shallow'
Apparently, things did happen here, US Navy padlocks, numbered equipment tags,
lots of Spanish war era Ammo, & the '01-05 Artillery Cap pin found at this site.
Another ring, Copper Greek Orthodox I assume, Alpha & Omega....
An old Pewter coin/medal/planchet, no details visible under the pebbling.
Clockwork ratchet on a wooden shaft, that's an oldie.
A little dustpan, for sweeping crumbs from the table between courses :laughing7:

Various other items, no scrap pile pic today...
Nice mud hunting, seems if I give it a rest, new stuff comes out every time.
Thanks for looking! HH to you All :thumbsup:

Still amazed at those finds Herbie!!! You have found more than enough gold & silver to pay for your new detector this year my friend. I like the ring & bracelet. How much longer will the weather allow you to hunt up there on average? HH, Quindy.

Thanks Quindy, SS, & HMN. :hello:

Just the scrap copper & brass I find have paid for Safari, Etrac, & the Excaliber.
Last year the weather was balmy til Christmas

I can dig in the salt mud as long as it's above 20 degrees,
sheltered leafcovered woods areas didn't freeze til January.
This year may be different, we got snow coming tonight >:(
