Today's digs

[steve in so la]

went to some sites today - dug about 50 coins, 8 being nickels. Man, is it getting hot & humid. At 6:00 this morn it was 80 degrees. Got a dinkie car , several pizza tokens, junk ring and a gold thing.

What is this gold thing, it sure is attractive. The loop on top broke, is why it was lost. The center of the flower looks like Black Hills gold. Maybe an ear ring, any ideas ? Steve in so az

Black Hills Gold? Either a pendant or ear ring? nice digs Steve!

 

[steve in so la]

due to the gold content - any larger might be too heavy for that. Steve

I would say that your gold find is a charm or pendant to hang on a gold chain. I have various ones myself, but they usually are a lot smaller!

God Bless!

I'd guess an earring myself since it looks like it would "move" when worn. That is pretty though. The gold color on that flower looks really nice, does it have redish / pinkish tones to it?

Yes, copper is in the gold from the Black Hills so it gives that neat off gold color. Steve
