Default Gold 'N silver digs
A friend, Jon, & I hit the road for the day today. We detected a couple parks and got a handful of coins each. Jon got the 3 dark items here - tax token, the Roosevelt dime is 1951 and the little pendant is stamped "Mexico sterling". I dug the ring - 10 K. There's a stone in it - have to take it to the jeweler to check it. The silver items came out of the ground looking just like this - better check all your coins, steve in so az
