Heavy 14k bracelet with 54 diamonds,Ben Franklin half,big silver ring" UPDATED"
Started out at 5:30 AM because of the afternoon heat! I decided to stop by the play ground with wood chips that I usually hit every so often. It was still dark and all the lights around the play ground were off for some reason, but I wasn't going to let that stop me. After a half hour into it I got a tin foil reading behind the swings, I moved the chips aside and thought I found a cheap bracelet until later when it got a little more light and the 14k could be seen and also it had 54 diamonds, Woo Hoo!! I wonder how much it is worth? Then it was time to move to the old wood store tear down located by a very old church. I only found a 1928 wheat and a 1920 buffalo nickel at that location. Then I just drove around for a while until I saw an old building with a grass section running around it between the side walk and the street. Thought it would be a good place to try for a silver coin before I quit the hunt. After working almost all the way around the area, I got a silver quarter/half reading. The ground was hard as a rock, so the digging was difficult. After almost having to chisel down 9", a large silver edge appeared, it was a Ben Franklin half 1962D. I did scratch it though
. On the way back around to the car, I found a thick/heavy 925 bent up ring. There is a picture before and after I repaired the ring. Thanks for looking!
