Its been at least a week and a half since I've gotten out so needless to say I was happy to get a quick hunt in at a local schoolyard today after work. I've searched this playground a few times but today I hunted a small area I hadn't hit before. I was there about an hour before 5 or 6 kids came and wanted to play football, and this being a playground, I gave the kids the right of way. I'll have to get back there soon because I found a few keepers. 2 religious medals (1 silver and 1 copper or brass), 1 religious cross (silver), 1 junk earring, 4 wheat pennies (1949, 1941, 1946, 194?). Clad finds were 1 quarter, 2 dimes, 4 nickels, 8 memorial pennies. I also found a broken arrow. Both of the silver items are marked Sterling. Can anyone translate what it says on the cross?
