Recent hunts, Silver & Gold

Got out to a couple of older spots won Wednesday, and although the old coins were stingy, I still managed to find some silver.

First up is a Victorian sterling silver ring. It was black in the center so I hit it with a little cleaner, and it appears that there may have been a stone or such there at one time:

In what effectively amounts to a ghost town, I found this sterling silver spoon:

Also found a few obligatory wheatbacks, both 1944-S:

With gold hovering around $1100-$1200 lately, I decided there's no shame in hitting a few tot-lots in search of gold, but aside from a few nitro finds and similar false alarms, I hadn't found anything spectacular yet. Yesterday lady luck mocked me yet again with a little gold plated junker earring:

Then I think lady luck was trying to tell me to go home ( :nono: hey dumb ass it's cold and raining, go home!!) when I got this 14K gold cross (marked on the bail) :toothy2:

Very astute observation, could definitely be the case :thumbsup:

I visited Caen and their D-Day Museum as well as the D-Day beaches, and graveyards in Normandy a few years ago, what an experience.

Great finds Brian and kind of eerie finding that date on that cross especially after your trip over there . Some finds seem to destined to have an incredible link to the one who lost them and to the one who finds them .

Congrats on some great finds. :icon_thumleft: Interesting cross.
 

Re: Recent hunts, Silver & Gold

Yeah the cross may be in memorial of someone killed in the Battle of Normandy after the Aliied invasion of France.
