Some finds

[Lodihunter]

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year's! Here are a couple of finds from the past 2 weeks. The necklace was 14K and attached was a baby ring with either an "M" or a "W" on it. I found it in left center field of a baseball diamond here in Lodi. The medal was dug up at an older community pool. On one side, St Christopher is seen carrying Christ across a river. On the other side, the iron cross with a crown on the top, the letters FW, branches and a date of 1813 are in porcelain . I found that this medal was not given to soldiers, but was worn by civilians during WWI to show support of Prussia. The 1813 only stands for the date the iron cross was created. The FW stands for Frederick Wilhelm; leader of Prussia. I thought it was a pretty sweet find. If anyone knows anything more about it, please let me know.

Great finds! Thanks for sharing them and what a nice surprise to pull out a gold rope necklace. So cool. I posted a precious metal calculator on another post if you know the weight, you can get the "scrap" value of your finds. It's a cool tool to use. HH, Nancy

Nice finds. Ground's frozen here in N. Idaho so haven't been inclined to get out. Oh well, spring's only a few months away.

Sweet find for a sweet looking family. It's like Forest Gumps mom said (or should have said), "life, uh, I mean metal detecting is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get"
