hit a curb area in a big median/island between 4 lanes on a fairly old road here in town this am. across the street is the oldest school site in town. the first school burned, and the current one was built in the 1930's, and has grown a few times since.
i've found a lot of clad in the schoolyard in the past, and a couple of silver rings also. but i was real surprised when my first 2 signals were almost surface wheats. the ground was washed out next to the curb under a couple of big oaks. after a 12 penny spill,(all copper mems), i hit the no date buff at 1/4 inch
after over an hour of digging trash, i hit a dime signal real shallow,and used my screwdriver to pop it out. first thing i see is the end of the chain, so i was pretty careful getting the rest of the bracelet out. the back of the bracelet, and the small ring ( last target of that hunt), is also marked sterling. but i have my doubts about that one. it looks plated to me . its a heart ring, but the heart on top is pretty bent up. no pic of the 5 wheats i ended up with, as they are all in the early 50's, and we all know what they look like
edit:: the wings on the bracelet look like gold to me. but no markings anywhere i can find to back that up. but the back of the bracelet says LGB right above the sterling engraving. so does anyone know anything about these pilot wings? or do i need to have them checked out?
thanks for looking and HH!!
