This was going on "today's finds" but I made a mistake and posted it on here.
I was at a old site which once had a hotel and a hill that over looks the ocean. You could tell it was all clear in the past but some trees are growing there so you have to weave in and out of spots to get to hunt. There were some silver coins, large cents and flat buttons dug out of there in the past but now it's mostly the typical modern trash around from parties etc. I dug a few modern penny's and it was just starting to rain when I got a nice deeper hit around 4"-5" so I gave it a try. Out popped this old bar pin. It's all copper except for the jewels. I wish it had all three but one must have fell out long ago because grass roots were grown through the hole. What tells me it's older is even the pin is copper when most newer ones had steal pins that always seem to rust away fast. Thanks for looking and any ideas on its age would be appreciated!
