Hunt w/ Merf @ 1870's farmstead.

I met up with Merf today for a short hunt after my class in DeKalb. Nice guy, and good to finally put a face to a name. I found a couple relics here and there, but my most interesting find is this one, which I found just before I left. (Funny how you always find the good stuff right before you leave) I found it out in a plowed field, so it was only about 3 inches deep.

Merf said there is a lot of iron here, which there was, so I used my 5 inch coil. It rang up 12-33 on the E-trac, and it looks like silver, but no markings anywhere on it. It's about 3/4" long x 1/4" wide. Maybe some sort of jewelry. I dunno, maybe someone will.

Anyways, it was great hunting with Merf, and I look forward to hunting with him again. Thanks again Merf!

Really cool little relic there! Good hunt! Next time you are in Dekalb, check out the Starworlds Arcade on rt. 38:

I love that place... just wish it was a little closer to me.

Odd looking linkage(?) on the back there, good puzzle to solve!

Neat silver! Could be Victorian era by the design. . . nice!
