Here are some finds from the hunts that I went on over the last few weeks.
These coins, relics and pieces of jewelry were found at a few different 1800's houses, on a vacant lot, along a few sections of old sidewalk and at a old church.
I found the 1876 Seated Dime in the woods behind a 150 year old church and the 1895 Barber Dime was found on a vacant lot where an old house once stood.
The 1895 Barber Dime is a semi-key date and it's in real nice condition. Found the 1952 Rosie Dime along a section of old sidewalk.
The 1951 Bolivian coin has a Llama on it - this was a really cool find for me - because we have three pet Llama's !
I've also posted a photo that I found on the internet of the same type of Bolivian coin - that has the same date on it as mine.
A Token like the one I found here - was used in vending machines in Italy - I don't think this token is very old.
The brass Pin Back has three initials on it - found this one in the backyard of a 1800's house.
I found the Sterling Silver Necklace that's shown here on a salt water beach in Maine a few months ago.
After spending decades on the beach - this piece was very corroded when I found it - now it looks like new !
Our local jeweler offered to clean this necklace for me in his " Pin Tumbler " - free of charge.
He told me that "Pin Tumbler's" are a safe way to clean old jewelry - he said his cost approx. $350.00.
