Sunday Schoolyard Finds - Diamond earring

Boobydoo · May 23, 2006

Got out for 3 - 1/2 hours Sunday and finally got time to scan and post this thread. Went to another schoolyard in the "well off" part of town.

Had a great day, lots of finds. 115 coins with $7.58 face value.
Keepers were 2 wheats 1950 D & 1945, two Sterling earrings, and best of all, a 14kt earring with a sweet princess cut 0.20 ct diamond in it. I found that and one of the sterling ones on the sidelines of the soccer field. I only got to search about 10% of the sidelines when kids started showing up for their games so I had to move to the play structure areas and grassy areas.

This school had more play structures then any I have seen. They went all the way around the school. They had been searched recently but I still found quite a bit in the ones behind the school. Nothing in the ones in front. I also found a lot of junk jewelry, some shown here.

I dug an interesting copper religious metal and a foreign coin. I could use some help IDing the coin. On the back it says "10 Forint", the front says the date, 1993 and "MAGYAR KOZTARSASAG". I have no idea where it's from.

Anyway, I'm a happy camper and it was also a beautiful day out there. A great mental health adjustment.

Best of luck to you all!

I like the medallion next to the foreign coin What does it say on it? Looks like it was a Nice day!

Hello Digg...

I took it to work and scoped it and the medallion has hebrew writing... so I have no idea what it says. It's a religious thing I think. Plus the green coating wore a bit while in my pocket with my posket change and dang, the thing appears to be silver. I found this fairly deep, in a grassy area so I was wondering why it hadn't corroded more. I jingled it with some mercs and clad and I do think it is silver now. Unexpected surprize.

Also... thanks for the visits and comments Dave/Bobbie and GC.

Your "junk" jewelry looks good.

That is a lot of coins too. I like finding those quarters - nice good signal, easy to find. The dimes can sometimes be a little tricky. I'll have to try digging everything sometime - especially at those newer sites where there is jewelry.
