Hit my great-aunts yard, she died this last year and it is for sale, so I'll hit it while I can. These are a few of my finds. All of the religious medals were in the same hole, and there actually used to be one more of the very small gold ones, but I lost it either in her yard or while doing cleanup. I dunno. The large gold, I'm guessing gold-plated (most likely a compact cover) was dug at 10" easily. It came out of the ground shining as much as the picture. In this yard I was digging 1910 and up wheaties at 6", so this compact cover could be pretty old. I also found a little silver. Plan on returning on Friday to go over it again.

Nice finds. The round gold colored piece looks victorian. I'm not sure its plated. If it is a plated compact I would expect to see some wear spots in the plating. Also, could it be the cover from a womans pocket type watch? If so its probably gold.

It sounds like it is time you made friends with a jeweler and get a test done on that compact lid, it sure looks like gold to me. If I can remember, I can bring our gold tester to the next meeting.
