    Got some Sterling

    Rob and I had a few hours this AM before he had to go to the St, Patricks Day parade. We went to this tiny and I mean tiny park and all we got was some clad. We next went to another park here in town and Rob finally gets himself a wheat and I got the sterling cross.

    The cross is not marked but I tested it and its sterling.

    Thanks for reading.

    Re: Got some Sterling

    It's a really nice cross...and VERY heavy too

    I love how Al always leaves out about the POLICE......

    There we were minding our own business ...in a huge park with NO ONE ELSE IN THE WHOLE PARK....I look over and there is a cop parked directly behind my car watching us....I'm sure he ran my plate...he sat there for a good half hour maybe a bit more..just keeping his eye on us.......I guess Al looked shady

    I only scored a wheat, some clad and a spinner ring..nothing to write home about >:#

    Tony, I was wondering what type it was as the markings on it did not look like any other cross that I had found. Thanks for the info.
