Default 925 :)

Hey y'all. So I've been hitting the parks hard lately, especially one in particular which has given me silver and gold. But I'm finding slim pickings there lately, I'm even having trouble coming away with my usual clad. So I decided to branch out a few days ago, and walk around the less-used sections of the park. I found a new patch of grass that gave me the small silver earring shown.

But that wasn;t enough for me, so I searched out a new location that I think should keep me busy for a bit. It's bigger than I thought, so I just did a quick sweep looking for hotspots. Came away with a buck and half clad tonight, and ended the evening with this pendant marked "NF 925 Thailand". It's got a cool shimmery/translucent white coating on the front that catches the light in a very pretty way.

I've also shown a bunch of my recent non-precious metal jewelry finds. I got a dozen of those neat little skull beads, I thought they were fun.

Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed, and HAPPY HUNTING!

Congrats on the nice silver. Venturing out to a new area seems to be paying off. Good Luck on future hunts. : )

Nice finds. Isn't it amazing how much brass "stuff" there is in the ground? I find copper and brass in old jewelry and "parts of stuff" all the the time. Consider the price of it today in $/lb and you probably would have a few extra $10. in your wallet for batteries.
