Two Fatties

[Murray8144]

Dug a flat button and two IHPs today, one of which is an 1862 fattie



The other fattie was dug yesterday. Got a dime signal but shallow, and decided to dig it. Out popped this huge skull ring. Fresh out of the ground it looked just like every other silver jewelry piece ive ever dug, and cleaned up it looked like every other jewelry piece ive ever dug...but there's no .925 or 'sterling' marking



Other finds from yesterday were a cool old key, three buttons, and another IHP (good condition except for the 3rd digit in the date)

Great finds. The only " fatty" IHP I found rang in much lower than is typical. Was that true for you? Love the skull ring...kind'a creepy!

Yes as a matter of fact I was going to mention that...thanks for reminding me. Rang up 12-22 (regular ihp's ring up 12-35 or so).

The ring may be Skeletor (from the He-Man cartoon series) late 80's early 90's era. Looks like a great place to hunt again. Congrats on pulling all the keepers Murray
