I started out by going to a river that has tons of civil war history behind it, it was a main transportation route for cargo and canoes. The union opened fire there, and an arsenal was destoryed with a mill building and carding factory. Today I found some really old glasses 10" deep near the water. Yes 10" I almost stopped digging but I kept going and poof there it was.

The other stuff I found on 2 playgrounds. Nails, screw, pencil, 2 pennies, 1 nickel, wire.

The two coolest things I found on the playground were the button type thing, and the carebear charm. I really wish the photo was better on the charm because its solid silver looking. Probably pewter.

Can anyone date the old glasses? Those have to be like pre-1940 or something, they don't make them like that.

Glasses are mid 80's, pendent looks silver. Check for a small .925 on it. :icon_scratch:

Keep @ it and HH!!
 
The back of the charm in incredibly small says the following

".925 JCM (c) TCFC"

the (c) is a copyright symbol. So it really is real silver?

That's not just real silver...That there is sterling silver. 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper ( I think, to add stength).

Silver is better than gold to me. COngrats on findin' sum silva!!!! Sure beets iron hugh? Keep pullin out man.
