Short walk, still producing & a puzzlement

[WHADIFIND]

Been commenting about the heat for sooooo long!
Always having to stay in the shade so I didn't get burnt!

So, today I go out and what happens? I got burned!
WIND BURNED!! WOW! I'd kneel down to dig and the
wind would knock me over!! LOL And THAT is tough to do! LOL!

Anyway, I fought it for a short walk, thought it best to stay
out of the woods though. Came up with a couple trinkets.




Non-magnetic, fairly heavy, brass I think, reminds me of a handle.

This nice lil cross is my puzzlement.
I was on the way back to the car when I got this
penny hit. I dug it, zincoln. shrug

When I checked around that area, (I always do that
in case they kept their diamond ring in the same pocket. )

Another hit but this was different. On the ATP 41-45 (approx) usually
turns up foil/tabs/etc. But, since this was a check around an already
dug find, I played with the signal for a bit. Different angles, speeds, etc.
I got it to repeat pretty well between 47 and 50. Close nuff for gov't work.
I dug.




I was pleasantly surprised!
If you look closely you can see the 5 at the top.
I assumed silver and 925. A happy camper!

BUT......wait a minute! 47-50!?!?! On silver Of this size?
I did an air test there and more when I got home. But it still
only air tests at 47-50. So, fake?

Back at home I looked very carefully with magnification.



What it looks like to me, (here, under the best conditions), is a "7" "5"
Can't make out the worn first number.

I tried the gold acids, (my silver acid is corrupted). It holds up under the 10kt.

So, what y'all think? Anyone familiar with the design? Is it a symbol or just decorative?

I don't think these guys care:




Thanks for peeking!

Glad you got out. No telling what you will find when it cools down. You are always full of surprises no telling what you will find!
Good luck this season.

I can see why the At pro gave you A Crazy Signal, All of the Crazy edges On it with the DD Coil Would Make it Sound In The Foil Range Nice find HH Chug PS Reds Working on A New Post Right Now Posting Soon

Congrats on some nice finds

Well 750 would be 18K. However I would be suspect because the top loop isn't soldered shut. I have no idea of the numbers on the At-Pro though. 585 would be 14K but you say the second number is a 7. Your guess is as good as mine.

Interesting cross for sure. Totally unique.

Thanks!

But, I'm not really what is surprising. Rather, it's the surprising variety of things lost, no matter where one looks! LOL

I've never seen a cross design like this one. Modern interpretation?

Hmmmmm sort of a "stealth" target, eh? LOL

Interesting thought!

It really is, I've tried to "make" that 7 into a 2 in my mind. Would make it a lot easier to determine!

On the ATP, I would think a silver cross this size would ring up at the very least 80-90. Unless Chug's theory is true.

 

[jeff of pa]

interesting shaped cross ! much nicer the a plain original design
maybe Tribal, or Goth-style
can't see enough to help with the marking.

I'm surprised the winds are reaching You

 

[against the wind]

Just theory but it might be 10 kt white gold
See the Devils tail,, might be a version of the Devil's cross.

 

[Loco-Digger]

You had me laughing when the wind blew you over. Looks like another good day Whadi.

 

[can]

cool finds

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Well we're glad you didn't blow away in the wind!

Silver again or gold! Congrats!

Tell Blingie to be careful, that's got alot of sharp pointy places!

Punk rock devils cross, possibly? It's got enough pointy barbs you could use it like a throwing star.
If it passes the gold test, good enough.

You certainly know how to find the interesting and unusual!

I didn't make it out, life got in the way...again.

 

[btjbtj]

Love your posts. That silver one looks like a New Age across to me. Just a funky rendition of a cross? All wonderful finds! Congrats! -Lisa & John

 

[Professor of Engineering]

Nice finds! Blingie seems happy with the interesting cross!

.375 is 9k gold, I think.

 

[WHADIFIND]

.375 is 9k gold, I think.

Really! I didn't know that! It would fit. The VDI, the acid test, (it seemed to fade with the 10kt acid but only after a long time! The weight seemed about right too, about 6 grams on something this small.
I wonder if this might be old as well?

In any case, thanks! Makes it more interesting.

Thanks again!
