It was a Tiffany & Co. kinda day!!!

Hello Everyone, :hello:

Got out for three hours today to a ballfield / tot lot in the City of Pickering, Ontario this afternoon. The first hour started out slow as I was only digging pennies from the trees in the park area. I then headed to the Tot Lot and found nothing or interest there either, except for the race car!

Decided it was time to swing my way over to the ballfield and then POW! I got this great signal about 4" down, of course all I could think was . . . yeah right another beercap! Once I flipped over the plug I saw this silver chain hanging down in the hole. The first thing I thought was, wow a medic alert bracelet . . . looks like it might be silver too!

So I took a pic of it and cafefully pulled it out. Man was I ever wrong! I've seen these types of Tiffany bracelets found by others here on Tnet, I certainly never thought that I'd find one! :thumbsup:

After hunting the ball field and finding more coins, I noticed an old stone house dating from about 1850 on the other side of field behind the park fence. I decided to head over and check out the grass strip of hill along the fence adjacent to the house. This is where I found the old bell at about 6" down. I decided it was time to swing my way back to my truck across the ballfield, this is where I found the religious silver ring, about 2" down!

Sorry to be so long winded about my finds today, I guess I'm still pretty hyped about the Tiffany bracelet! :laughing7:

Best of luck to everyone,
Dave

That's too cool. I can't believe its complete. That never happens. I found only the heart one time and bits of the chain sometimes but never complete. I'd give that field and that old house site a thorough pounding! congrats!

Thank for posting Dan! I couldn't believe it was complete either when it came out of the ground. It measures 7.5", as it should . . . I figure the person maybe had it in their pocket and it fell out. :dontknow:

I definitely plan on heading back there next week, as it's suppose to rain here until at least Sunday! :'(

Dang Dave, that's one heck of a hunt you had. Did you leave anything for tomorrows hunt?? LOL

WTG! A Tiffany & Co. bracelet plus the chain! WHO-HOO!

I like the bell too.

I'm thinking that wedge-shaped piece with the lines on it and a hole at the top may be an earring. Check it for hallmark/numbers too.

I think you're going to have a very enjoyable few days cleaning the rest of that site out.

Thanks AGBlex,
I was told by RFrady, that it's called Mobius Loop.
Apparently, it's intended to be worn on a chain around your neck. :icon_scratch:

Best of luck to you! :icon_thumright:

It's called Mobius Loop, it was intended to be worn on a chain.
