    Talking A Nice Relic Hunt

    Had a Nice short Relic Hunt where I found my first Crotal Bell for the Year! Anyone have any clue how old it is? Also found my BEST Victorian Era Jewelry so far! Also found a Pocket Watch Fob from the 1910's that turns out to be VERY RARE according to a person on Etsy selling it. Best of Luck Everyone and HH!



    Keep on Swinging!

    Wow, A nice relic hunt indeed! I love the intricate detail on that red stone. What is that stone? That fob is in great shape for 100 yrs old. I've only average one crotal a year. Those things are darn hard to find Congrats!

    the fob is i great shape , I also like the brooch , what kind of back attachment does it have ?? the crotal is all there , very sweet , unless it has a set of initials its time period can only be speculated . some very good relics PT

    yeah , its definitely an 1880's to 1920 era brooch and Drew is most likely right about the red coral stone . its a very cool find . keep hitting that area for seated and barber coins .
