Gratuitous additional pics

I'm so pleased with two of my finds this month that I can't help but post more pics... the first two are the two center I found in the woods. I doubt I'll ever find one again this nice. It has an almost black patina which makes getting a good picture tough even in broad daylight.

The rest of the pics are some close ups and other angles of the perfume locket I found recently. If I believe the marks, this item was made in Birmingham England in 1810. I'm looking into getting it cleaned and repaired and hopefully getting some more info on it. This is the second oldest datable item I've ever dug (including coins) and the possibility that it is made of silver and/or gold is pretty spectacular in my mind. This seems like a once in a lifetime dig for me.

Thanks for looking!

Great pics of two amazing finds! That two-cent piece is spectacular, and the perfume locket is a real piece of treasure! |:confused:)
