By the Light... of the" Silvery" Moon

The last couple of days found me embedded in "second home" maintainence but I did manage to sneek in a few moon lit water hunts.No confirmed gold , but I did snag a silver ladies ring, a silver mans ring, an 18 inch Italian Silver chain, and an 18 inch gold? ( no hallmark) fine chain.Also a couple other ditties and about eight bucks in clad.The weather was beautiful this weekend and the hunts were very enjoyable.....Also got a 52 Wheat in my change this morning!
The last pic is of a knife I found in some of my dads old stuff.Says "Connecticut Cutlery".Looks like a pruning knife....Couldnt find anything on the web as to an approx. value...Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks and good luck to all.....Joe

I used to call that a carpet or sheetrock knife- although the curvature of the blades were more pronounced.
Have one in My toolbox in the garage. Nice finds by the way-- moonlight
I'd have a hard time finding that in amount in daylight!!
congrats & HH

looks to me like an old version of a cable splicer or carpet man knife. could also have been used by a roofer for cutting shingle backs and tar paper. newer versions of the same old knife have a more hook-ed 'beak'. just my opinion. "knice" haul!!

Nice finds Joe, congrats on all the goodies!
I am glad you got out. You work too hard.

Hope the chain is gold but it's really sweet either way.
