Cabin Fever, Snowy Farm Fields

[SouthJerseyJim]

Got out today for the first time after all this snow were getting in the NE. Hit up 2 fields with my mom and friend and found our share of trash and more trash. I did manage to pull a nice 1887 IH from the snowy ground and about 10 feet from the car this "gold" pendant shows it's face. I believe its real gold havnt got ma to test it yet but it's and odd one to wear around your neck the base is flat and it is very neat looking with all the designs. It has a small eyelet up top for a chain im assuming. Anyone ever see something like this before? This place dates way back. This sure helped out my cabing fever by finding it! Thanks ,Jim

Thanks for all the replies guys. Believe it or not I was walking back to the truck and 2 feet away a got a trashy nickel signal on my X5 and just dug for the hell of it. I searched around where I found it and found can after can. Guess I was meant to find it! Im guessing the date of the seal is turn of the century or slightly earlier? Hopefully this weekends research will pay of well also.

Nice to see some people have gotten out in the area!
It is a cool looking seal, but most likely decorative? I wonder about its age?

I got out yesterday as well near my home. I have never gotten so much mud on everything. It took me an hour to clean my detector and accessories. I thought for sure the mud was going to kill my new Garrett Pro Pointer on its first outing. The White's BullsEye would not have survived! I did find a few colonial buttons and a nice looking Indian Head.

50 Degrees on Saturday!!!

Tell your mom I said hi!

With out seeing the base it looks like it may have been a wax seal..................Lee

Yes....and it looks like a very nice one at that worth the wait I would have thought
