Some more goodness today !!

[rc2125]

Hit it hard today, prettymuch dug late-morning until evening. Had a slow start, ran into some unique digging conditions, turned out to be somewhat of a blessing in disquise after figuring out how to deal with it. Ended up being a great mixed-bag kinda day!

old junker

both marked "sterling"

7.0 grams of 14kt goodness!!

stamped "14kt art carved"


One of the silver nickels, oldest nickel was 1937, half dozen in the 40's and 50's

1914 ??? 10cent coin

Some sort of religeous pendant (says 1830, but it's plated?) and very heavy old metal soldier

Diggin partner got these great historical pieces:


Kinnaman ??4 war TerreHaute Ind

any help with i.d.?




1933 chicago worlds fair bracelet (copper)

Great bunch of goodies congrats on the silver and gold well done. The religous pendent 1830's is when the design was made.The badge I have no clue.

You did great!! The dime is a Canadian King George the 1st. The "Badge" is an amusement park token. You put your coins in a machine, arrange the letters to what you want and pull the lever, used up until the 60's I belive. I hve about 10 of them. Was the war nickel your only other silver coin? Dime is 80% silver, Nickel is 35% silver. Worlds fair bracelet is something I have never seen. NICE

A nice hunt.

Great finds! the token in this picture was stamped out at the local carnival 44 years ago, and has been in the water ever since. The best thing about this find is that it belongs to MY BROTHER!!!!

Great finds Friend!!

These are the kinds of rare hunting days I look forward to.

Very nice gold ring. I recovered a 14K white gold that looks like it!

Most amazing is the good luck badge!!!

GL&HH,

Rub a little oil on the Kinnaman badge, take it outside in the sunlight and photograph it a few times from different angles. Then play around with inverting the colors and other things in Photoshop to see if you can "pull out" the missing word there after "Kinnaman."

Kinnaman seems to be a fairly common name in Terre Haute, Indiana - perhaps it was a marker of some kind for a veteran's grave? It looks like what you said might be a 4? could be a capital A instead. It's hard to tell if there is a space between the A and what looks like WAR, or if perhaps there's lots of wear there and the WAR part is really a continuation of one long word.

Hard to say what it is, but play around with photographs and try the oil idea (use petroleum jelly or just a little WD40 or something) - it's surprising how doing that plus playing with different photo angles can bring out detail that you can't normally see.

Good luck.

I'll try that, thanks

Rc, I made a mistake on your Canadian Dime. Its before 1920 so its 92% silver. Sorry about that!
