hello all got to do alittle detecting sunday saw an old building that had its back yard scraped to put in a parking lot didn't find to much except a weird signal had me digging i look down and see some teeth looking back at me. picked up what i guess is someones lower bridge three teeth with 2 caps on either side. oh and the bridge is made of gold. a kind of delayed not quite sure happy dance my question is what karat gold did they normally use on bridges and dentures. still found gold tho pis to follow

the house i found them at was built around 1880 however i think there may have been a dentist's office there in the seventies my dad thinks so at least. either way they are worn completely down so maybe the person came in and had them replaced. my coolest find so far hh to all
