I spent about 5 hours digging park's areas today - got my first sunburn of the season. Only 85 today so it wasn't bad. Dug a bunch of coins and these goodies.

The necklace and butterfly pendant are both stamped 925 so I presume they are gold plated as they look gold. The coin is a Canadian Loonie - dollar value, large cross is not precious metals, small one is stamped 925, the dragonfly in upper left is stamped 925 and lastly the Catholic pendant on the bottom is 10 K. Great day for an old goat - gonna watch the Spurs wipe out the Mavs now, Steve in so az
