Default Silver, Indians and Jewelry

Hello All,

Today I hunted three different locales...an empty lot i've had my eye on for a while, a local park and a school. The lot had a lot of trash, but did give up an Indian Head penny (1902), a lovely ring (plated) and what i think is a cuff link with mother-of-pearl inlay.

The park gave up a load of clad.

The school gave up a 1941-S Quarter and a second Indian Head penny (1880)...my oldest coin to date!







Here's a couple of vids of the quarter dig:





Thanks for looking and HH!!
