O.k. so it wasn't today, it was about a week and a half ago, but I don't really get much time to get pics together and post.....
November started brilliantly! Got my first half pennies (1909 and 1912), my oldest American indian head (1892), George the III half penny (1776 or 79, the coin's too worn) another first. Silver teaspoon patented 1887, on and on..... a really good week. The best though were the crotal bell (another first for me), and the bead (pics below).
The crotal was surface (really rocky terrain), and the bead I found digging up a piece of tin can or some such garbage. The smile on my face when I pulled it out :laughing7: Man, I think it tops any clay marble or older bottle I've found so far. I just have to date it now. Just by looking at how the light refracts I pretty sure it's goldruby glass. Either way it sure is purdy!
