John Phillip Souza G harmonica has value, don't know how much. Souza wrote many marches, was considered the march king, and is well known.

Sorry. My bad. Souza should read Sousa.

I’ve finds with the gold! Tulips are out at the old sites in W PA as well. Congrats!

All nice finds. It makes you wonder about the halfed gold heart, as if this was done as a result of someone's broken heart. Well Done.

Nice assortment of finds. I have found several older 10k rings that have broken. Whatever they used in the alloy back then does not age well in the ground. The class ring I returned that was in the ground for 48 years broke in half the day after I returned it. She called me to see if I knew a jeweler who could fix it and luckily I did.

Congratulations and keep swingin.
