Dug a Golden Civil war Sword!

[lesche Is More]

Todays dig started like any other!
They are tearing the main road out of the park that I haunt.
And are soon to grade the adjacent field
So while they were working I headed over to the sled hill
It's where people have lined the hills for years to watch parades
on the nearby mainstreet
I got a solid 37 on my safari. Dug down and pulled
The most gorgeous mint! Barber dime I have found to date
A 1905-s complete with custom lesche knick

But man was I happy



6 inches from this one I get another solid 37!
I'm thinking maybe twins?


YES! 1898 BARBER!



So I'm full game for this area at this point and I get a nickel tone
beautiful sounding 14 I dig and out pops the sword















I went on to pull a 39 mercury dime 10 feet away
What a great day!


Not much else of interest for the day.
But the sword stickpin blew me away

I believe it is this sword
It has the eagle and 3 lines on the front

Swords, Officer, Model 1860 Staff & Field officer, Post Civil War

I found this site through Google Image search

Its deffinatley gold the pin a lower karat and the handle higher
Maybe it was dropped by a civil war vet! Or a soldiers lady!
My imagination will run wild forever with this find

Ty all for viewing and HH -Lim-

I'd bet it had a scabbard like the one on this link. go back and hunt real hard and you just might find it 10K Victorian Enamel Scabbard Stick or Hat Pin from thejewelcollection on Ruby Lane
