Good Stuff, 1909 VDB, Indian, Buffalo's, Merc silver and a weird pendant.

Old school which was torn down in the 1980's and is now a park.

The coins were all shallow (2 1/2 to 4 inches) and the merc was masked by a nearby piece of canslaw.

The pendant is weird because when I found it, it was wet and you could see thru the stone. When it dries it turns white, (as shown). Some type of mood pendant? Any info on it would be appreciated. I dont know what type of stone it is. The setting looks old, but is not silver (possibly silverplate?)

Nice finds, your pendant has what appears to be " Mother of Pearl " in it. It turns chalky when it comes from the ground, but if you wet it, it will turn almost translucent. I have found many buttons made of this material. Mother of Pearl is the inside pearly looking part of abalone shell.......NGE

Awesome array of finds!! I think your pendant is a piece of frosted glass. I have several pieces at home, and when I wash them, they turn clear, when they dry, they are frosty white again. Very nice!! Good job!!
