Three Minute Sterling Crucifix

[Subterranean]

Had a little time while family members went to an appointment today. Went to a nearby park and dropped the coil on the lawn near the tennis courts. About three minutes later, had a nice 68 VDI and solid, repeatable tone. I found a pretty little crucifix, marked "STERLING BLI" I learned that "BLI" is a shortened maker's mark for the BLISS jewelry company.




The rest of the hunt was filled with small change and junk. I am thankful because during the past four hunts, I have found sterling jewelry of some kind, including earrings, a bracelet, and now this crucifix.

Thanks for looking, Happy Hunting to all, Sub

I love the religious jewelry pieces. Especially in a precious metal composition. Very nice find there. Keep rolling buddy.

Thank you Kurios1,

Odd thing is, it came out of the ground so blackened with patina that I first thought it was a corroded, plated brass piece. When I got it home and started scrubbing on it, the silver shined through and I discovered the hallmark! Most silver items that I have found have come out of the ground pretty shiny, but this time, the soil must have been weird or over fertilized. Sub

pretty nice silver. I had a couple rosies that were so bad looking that I didn't realize that they were silver until after I tumble my clad. a little silver on a regular basis is really nice too
