Gold ring--hunted with Zoso and Mirage

Nate in Ohio · Nov 20, 2006

Hey guys. Me and Mirage got together with Zoso for some hunting at Mirage's half dime site and at "Indian Park." I got some wheats but got skunked on silver. However, I did find a 10K gold ring, a very nice surprise. I found it by trecking into the tall grass/overgrown portion of the park. It was fairly shallow, VDIing just a tad higher than a nickel. Hopefully we'll do some more future hunts with Zoso.
This first pic is I think a bracelet (part of the right side was cut off from a mower blade), that I found at my grandma's house (1853) recently, and it says 'copper bell' on the back (as seen in 2nd pic).

These are a few other things I found recently at my grandma's house that somehow never found their way into a post yet.

I look forward to hopefully returning to the Iceberg sometime this week or weekend, and if not, then hunting at some cellar holes at a new site. Thanks for reading, and HH all!

Is that a child's bracelet? I found one like that at an old park in Charlotte, but it was sterling and a childs bracelet. It had arrows and stuff on it.

The design on your braclet kinds of looks like a ring I found. My ring is brass is the bracelet brass?

Thanks all very much. I don't know anything about the bracelet, but it could be brass. It says "Copper Bell" on the back, and it gave a pulltabish kind of signal. Wirelessworldinc, it does resemble your cool ring with the arrows and all. Thanks, HH all

I think your bracelet is by Bell Trading Co. They made "Indian Inspired" Copper items and suplied them to Trading Posts in the South West for the tourists. My guess on a date would be 1950 - 1960. Cool digs. Happy Turkey Day. chris.
