Dug for about 3 hours today at 2 different spots. Got about 200 coins, 2 tokens, 1 Mexican coin & a 925 ear ring.

You can see the black acid test on the ear ring - it was not stamped but is silver. Frequently, jewelry makers make these tubular pieces and cannot stamp them due to it collapsing if they tried. Sometimes they stamp on the wire that's attached, and sometimes they dont stamp at all.
