My first find on Valentines Day

agbkyle · Feb 14, 2010

Went out with pbrods this morning to the excavated park.
My very first signal of the day and it was this Heart. Pbrods thinks it was a 1800's heel plate on a kids boot but I don't know.
Was too frustrating to dig there as it was still too frozen so we headed off to the beach for the rest of the day.
There he finds a ring with a heart on it, then I find a heart pendant.
Wonder if this all means we shoulda been home with our wives today instead of out hunting

Anyway, pbrods scored an awesome 10k gold ring that has a butterfly with about 7 diamonds in it. A beauty.
Was a good day out huntin in the February cold anyway.

.... J/k.. I agree, strange coincidence though.

I think that would be the only thing that would have saved my A#@ if I had gone out hunting today. Instead I bought flowers and am cooking dinner like a good boy.

Yeah it was the most ironic thing for me. Tell the wife I'm going hunting and find a heart on the very first dig.
I still can't believe it.

So glad we went out today. I love finding portugues gold. It was funny, I asked Agbkyle what he wanted to find. He said a $20.00 gold coin. I said I wanted to find a diamond rind worth a couple hundred bucks. I took a few steps and swings and low and behold, right on top of the sand was a 10k ring with 7 tiny diamonds on it...lmoa The pics don't do them justice but here they are anyway...The 1st ring is silver plated, the second is stamped 750. What is that? The 3rd is 10k and the last is a rimfire casing that's allot bigger then a 22 and is stamped US. Any ideas on the casing?

Could be a heel plate from an ice skate????

agbkyle · Feb 14, 2010

Yeah pbrods, nothing like setting a goal and acheiving it in like 10 minutes.
That's a nice ring.

Thanks

We found an old shell casing like that at an old town site (1850-1900). I don't think we ever did figure out for sure just what it was. We posted it and had a lot of different replies. You may be able to find it by using the search.

Agbkyle, where's that awsome cufflink you found?

No idea. No markings on it so would be difficult to say.

The markings may be in the design itself

pbrods, I found that heart heel plate. You were right. I never would have thought tho that it's actually a civil war relic.
Found one on this page:
http://www.virginiarelics.com/newitems.htm

They're selling one for 55.00

And another on ebay for even more:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...fcebf7e&itemid=280341164604&ff4=263602_263622

I won't be selling mine tho. Can't believe it's a civil war relic.

pbrods · Feb 14, 2010

I don't know how you find this stuff...lol

Nice job guys! You both did well, how was the sand at the beach? Did you guys do dry sand or wet? I noticed the last times I went to the beach the dry was too frozen to dig and the tide line was frozen too there were was ice all over, I was lucky if I could get down an inch. I was thinking of checking out a beach tomorrow hoping it'd be a bit better.

Remember what you said you wanted to find? A $20.00 gold coin? I know why...I was watching a pawn shop show I had dvr'd and a lady found one and they are worth up to $30,000 WOW! He said it was worth about $900.00 in melt weight alone. Even the forgery's are real gold.

I want one too...lmao

My first find on Valentines Day
