Emerald Brooch Find

[Hill Billy]

This one really got me going this afternoon.Went out to the old housesite I went to the other day and tried to see if I could pull some more silver from the ground.Got very few signals for the first 20 minutes or so.I moved to the area where I found the seated dime and shield nickel last week.Got a weak signal at 8 inches.Decided to see what it was and out popped this little brooch or button.I think it's a brooch but could be a button.No coins today ,but I'll take the jewelry anytime.Thanks for looking.
Oh yeah, I'm sure the stone is fake.

HB, that stone is BEAUTIFUL!

Man, you are killing me with your finds in the past week. I gotta get my coil over something again soon.


Seated Silver, a Fantastic Condition Shield Nickel, and now this. Man, you're on fire.



I'll be heading out tomorrow to see if I can do a little damage myself. Gimme a call. And Congratulations on such a great display piece. Beats the hell out of any century-old jewelry I've found.
