Gold ring and Crackerjack toy

[mike b]

Got out in the water today for about an hour before a Thunder & Lightning storm rolled in and chased me out. The Crackerjack toy looks like an old time mounted policeman, you have to use a loop to see the detail. The ring is missing the back and isn't marked, I'm guessing its 10K. Very Art Deco in my opinion. Also a few sinkers and brass screws not shown.

Nice finds! I was at the beach in SC night detecting last month and a thunder and lightening storm rolled in. I felt pretty vulnerable with my steel shovel and detector, kept swinging til it felt a little stupid to stay out there...

Weird.

Nice finds. Those Cracker Jack prizes are always fun to dig. There were many different items that they used.

I used to find pieces of them years ago but just thought they were regular toys until the day a friend with 30 years saw me pick one out of the scoop and said it was a CJ toy. Since then Ive seen a CJ collectors catalog that looks like a small phonebook. there were hundreds of different ones. Pretty neat.

It came out stained, that's why I think its 10K. My camera isn't the best, I cleaned the ring but didn't polish it for the pic.

The storm was behind me, sun and blue skies in front. I didn't have a clue the storm was on me until I felt the thunder and turned around to see the lightning. I left a wake behind be getting out.

You will probably deem me crazy for saying this but I like the Cracker Jack toy better than the ring!!! Still a gold ring is a great find!
