The weather outside was miserable yesterday and I decided to finish sorting through my "catch all" box for anything of value I might have missed.

This tiny 14K gold ear-ring was missed because it had such a small makers mark stamped in the pin part of the jewel.
The next surprise is what I consider one of the fascinating things about our hobby, how did this key end up lost at a Connecticut beach where I recovered it from the water?

I'm sure there is a wonderful story about the key, but one that will likely never come to light.
Today nearly every modern hotel has key cards which may make this a collectors item!?
The weather has warmed up to the high 30s so far today and maybe I will have a chance to hunt in a day or so.
