[lorraine]

<div class="bbWrapper">Hi<img src="https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/hello.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hello:" title="hello :hello:" data-shortname=":hello:" /><br /> <br /> As refreshing snow fell lightly , I headed out to a near-by shoreline.<br /> <br /> Chilly out there, but I like it that way....clean , fresh, &quot;nippy &quot; air to breathe in while hunting for treasures.<br /> <br /> Did not find much ; a 1945 &quot;wheatie&quot; was the special coin find of the hunt.<br /> <br /> Got an erratic , loud sound ; knew it was some kind of junk metal...... there was a surprise awaiting me.<br /> <br /> I love finding strange items like this and then researching the origin. <br /> <br /> Check out this nickel silver fork ( BARTH ) that got stuck in what appears to be iron mix. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: #ee82ee"><br /> Barth company ( 1868-1926, then it merged with Albert Pick) was a wholesale manufacturer of supplies for hotels, passenger trains, and ships.<br /> </span><br /> Here&#039;s some pics<br /> <br /> Where&#039;s the gold? ...next time <img src="https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/headbang.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":headbang:" title="headbang :headbang:" data-shortname=":headbang:" /><br /> <br /> Thanks for looking<br /> <br /> Lorraine<br /> <br /> <script class="js-extraPhrases" type="application/json"> { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded.

<div class="bbWrapper">Very cool... wonder what &quot;steam line/steamer&quot; or &quot;cruise ship&quot; sank nearby... Or someone threw it over board because the meal sucked. <img src="https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/smiley.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smiley :)" data-shortname=":)" /><br /> <br /> Oh and as a possible clue... look for any ships carrying load/s of iron ore</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Glad you got out and did some detecting, Lorraine. I just can&#039;t seem to catch the time to go but hoping after our Christmas dinner at the church tomorrow, I can slip out for a few hours. I haven&#039;t patched my chest waders, but have to hit this spot before the water comes back up next week. HH. I got to go back to the house and cook until about 11:00 pm and then get up in the morning and finish up.<br /> Praying that Hank is still doing great and wish both you the best.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Glad to see you&#039;re getting out. WTG<br /> <br /> There&#039;s an interesting post of another site about &quot; conglomerates &quot;. I now bring them home if they have a good sound to see what&#039;s inside them. I&#039;ve seen a couple pics with gold rings sticking out of them and always ( after seeing the pic ) wondered how many may have thrown rings back because they thought they were junk .</div>
