Canyon Finds & Fathers Day Gift!

Had a great hunt in the canyon. I dug some interesting items including part of some old chaps or children's chaps, an old brass two hole button, an old brass pull or car emblem marked 408 on the back, a brass round item with grooves (not sure what it is any help would be apprecited), a bullet casing market FA-27, and an old silver pin with an ornate pattern on the front and stamped on the back 925 or ?50, an old marble and some clad....then on Father's Day I got a Garrett Pro Pinpointer from the kids! Enjoy the pics.

Re: Canyon Finds & Fathers Day Gift!

It appears that the back of the "pin" is stamped 350. If so, I believe that would make it (10k[?]) gold.

Nice finds. I wish my kids knew how much I'd like to have a Garrett Pro Pin-pointer. :headbang:

That's what I thought, either that or 950 Platinium? but it looks silverish though? Either way 10k works for me..
 
Re: Canyon Finds & Fathers Day Gift!

Nice thingy :headbang: I don't think it's 10K gold even if it's stamped '350' because 9K gold is stamped '375' so 10K must be a bigger number :(. There might be several possibilities here. The stamp can be '850' which is silver below sterling (925). Then it's likely to be from overseas like Europe or '950' which is silver above sterling like from Mexico. If the stamp is really '350' then it might be a irridium coated white gold. Platinum usually has 'Pt' afer the digits. Get it checked with some jeweller if you want to know for sure.
You have good kids :icon_thumright:

Second pic upper left hand. It's the piece used to hold the handelbars on the forks or the frond spindel on the lower forks. I'm assuming it's alloy. Interesting find, considering the others at the same site. HH Stan...

Re: Canyon Finds & Fathers Day Gift!

Wish I hadn't been asleep when I wrote my response. Yes, it's from a motorcycle. no way of knowing what kind but the bigger the clamp the bigger the bike. HH Stan...
 
Re: Canyon Finds & Fathers Day Gift!

I would convince the wife you need to buy the pinpointer and just get it - its speeds up the hunting and can pay for itself with one gold ring.

cheers
