This weekends digs

B|lker · Feb 8, 2009

Thanks for joining me on Sat. bob :thumbsup:

His digs are on the left on the t-shirt/ 015 pic./ 1st pic.
He beat me with 23 quarters and a nice sterling ring.

My Sat. finds on the right of the t-shirt include a nice 925 Celtic knot removed from under a washing machine were i do laundry and lots of dug clad.

Sun, Bob was unable to join me for my usual sand tot-lot areas :P (Maybe golfing?)
I started at a local park with only a few pieces of clad.
On my way back to the truck i decided to walk through an area where Bob and i had found remnants of old electrical items and ended up with this 1940 merc :icon_king:

I think it`s been six months since i`ve found one of these beauty`s.

After my afternoon walk i decided to hit a pine bark playground behind a school and dug this nice 925 earing and a few more pieces of clad from the ground

Hope it turns out to have a real chunk of carbon attached to it. If it`s real i`ll keep everyone posted.

HH All and thanks for looking.
Sorry no pull tab pics.

Good finds! The merc looks like it's in pretty good shape.

Thanks ratchetH22 the rim is high with everything readable.
I`m guessing its worth 2 dollars.

Nice going you guys. Congrats on the silver. :thumbsup:

I bet Bob was golfing too. :wink:

Did you wash that t-shirt before before you put your finds on it? :tongue3:

Congrats,
Doug

P.S. Did you ever send in your CW belt plate to be straightened?

No.... I wasn't golfing. Although I could have. It was 75 degrees today. It's time for my cholesterol checkup so I decided I'd better load up on oat meal this morning and go for a couple mile walk. Maybe the doctor won't be able to tell that I didn't do any exercising this winter.

Nice find on the merc, Bill and is that cubic z or a diamond?

Bob

P.S. I'll be golfing tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday and probably Friday. I've got to get to the pistol range one day this week. There's just too many things to do when you're retired.

Doug, that t-shirt has been in the back of my truck for quite some time now to keep the marbles and other items i find from rolling around. I think i`ve used it to clean my hands on after i hit something with windex for a quick clean.

The Sword plate was sent to a gentleman in VA to be straightened at the beginning of Jan. with the $65 dollar cache i found in a foodlion parking lot.
It is presumably being straightened by a cold process slowly with a special vice setup that allows him to put a small crank on it everyday. I hope he takes his time with it.
i`ll post before and afters when i get it back.

Bob i wont know on the cubic issue until i get up to the mall to have it checked.
Good luck on your tests and i`ll see you at next weeks hunt.
Maybe we should walk for 20 min before we start swinging each weekend.

Thanks for looking seger98

Bill... I found something like that about 20 years ago. It was 2 carat and also mounted in a SS setting. As much as I wanted it to be a diamond, my instincts told me that nobody mounts 2 carat diamonds in SS.
