3 day camping weekend
« on: July 29, 2012, 06:45:23 am »
Went camping last weekend and hunted 3 differnt lakes, 1 park, 1 building tear down and a road rip up. Silversurfer joined me in a couple of the lake hunts. Here are some pics of my weekend combinded finds.

The top left ring is marked 10k MEX but acid tests as 14k. (I did the test twice) The two ring to the right of the gold ring are silver rings, one is marked.925 and the other sterling. The 4 Mercs came from a little scrap in front of where they took down a school. The LC came from a 2 foot deep scrap they did in a empty lot, I think they used the dirt to top cover where the school used to be.

A dozen wheats and lots of clad, also a tootsy car.

I think the damage on the back is from a dozer or something. It was a sha1low (after two feet of the surface was removed)perfect 11-47 tone.
