Friday I took another ride to the Crystal Coast of NC and did some more beach hunting. I found a few dollars in clad Friday evening. Then i got up Saturday morning and hit the beach again determined to find gold. I found a few more dollars in clad , three gold plated bracelets together in a little pile and a flattened souvenier penny from the NC Aquarium. After a lunch break I headed back to my vehicle and noticed something shiny under my truck. It turned out to be a 10 kt gold earring.Ok, I found some gold, now I'm headed home.
I went to a local country auction Saturday evening because i heard they were selling some old coins. I bought a box of tools and in the bottom of the box was a 1998 100 colones Costa Rican coin. Anyways , the coins came up for bidding and I bought almost all of them. The first one the auctioneer described as an 1865 dime. I won the bidding and when he brought it to me , I was expecting to see a seated liberty but there was a bust on the coin. At first glance i thought it was a barber dime until i flipped it over and saw 3 roman numerals on it . It was an 1865 3 cent nickle. next up for bid was bags of indian head pennies. I bought them all. Then there was what the auctioneer described as "wierd" pennies...lol....I bought all 4 Flying eagle pennies. Next up was a pile of 2 cent pieces ranging in date from 1864 - 1870. I bought all 15 of them. Next was large cents. 9 of them ranging in date from 1846-1854. Then some more IH pennies, a bag of 10 1883 V nickles and an 1868 shield nickle. I'm no coin expert but most of these coins seem to be in very good shape.
I then bought a box of costume jewelry for $5 and another for $25 full of rings , earrings , bracelets , necklaces , watches , etc etc. I found a 10 kt gold charm in one of them and a sterling silver pendant in the other. I'm not sure if the chains are gold or not but they are quite heavy( i hope they're gold).
Also bought some silver plated spoons from ca. 1900
Anyways, I hope everyone had a nice weekend of treasure hunting.
HH and thanx for looking.
