Wood Chip Jewelry and Grandma's Coins
Hi All,
Been forever since I've had anything decent to post. Thank goodness for the rest of you, or I'd think everything good had been found.
Posting several pics here, so I hope I have room for all of them.
The first pics are of Sunday afternoon's finds, about an hour and a half, at the local tot lots. This is the first time I've done well (I have an extensive collection of the metal tube that holds erasers onto pencils, though!). The bracelet is marked 925 and when I showed it to my wife she commented that no way would anyone bother with such tiny cubic zirconia...she thinks the stones are real. Not sure myself, what do you all think? I have a hard time believing that anyone would let their kid wear a real bracelet to school. On the other hand, maybe it was the drunk lady who drank all the King Cobra and Corona's.
The laser pointer thing will be fun at music festivals.
The other necklace has a really cool hand-worked silver and turquoise hatchet design. Chain is surprisingly heavy, and stamped Italy 925. Strangely enough, the hatchet itself isn't marked. I thought ALL silver had to be stamped?
The coins vary. The beautiful 1906IH is from my wife...she got it in change at a Burger King. She has no idea what all the hoopla is about...she found this one really easy, and didn't have to get her hands dirty. Remainder of coins are from my grandma. I was detecting her yard and after laughing at me for getting excited about finding a silver spoon in her garden, told me to come in the house and gave me these! No, there isn't a D on the Merc.
Hope you all enjoy looking at these as much as I enjoyed finding them.

Man, great finds. That IH is the bomb, and so are Grannies coins.
