Weekend Finds - 1800s Cameo Bracelet / Silver Dimes / Indians

[floodplaindetector]

I hit our oldest city park for a couple hours after work during the week and pulled the
1800s Cameo bracelet (7 inch 12-13 somewhat chopped signal) and a 1948 nickel. I didn't run into any high tones.
I found the bracelet chain first and then scanned the hole and found the bracelet head and was able to attach it.

I hit a couple other locations Friday and pulled 3 mercs, 2 silver nickels, the 1907 indian head penny and some wheat pennies.

Sunday I hunted with SILVER KING and pulled the sterling 4h bracelet at a depth of 7-8 inches.
We dug a few old coins that buried most of the depth meter.
Nickels are 1908,1941,1942,1948. Barber Dime is 1907 plain. Indian heads are 1902,1907.

Good job Dave. Really like the bracelet--actually like all your postsupport since you always seem to do well. How many times have you been to that part of the park? Just saying, if you've hit it and are still finding keepers, tells me I should do the same.

Hey Ron,
I have hit the park a few times over the years. It has always been very tough and most all of the old silver coins were long gone before I started detecting.
With the Etrac being good on lower tones I always feel like I have a chance to get something.
