Well maybe not quite the Arkenstone, but I did feel like Bilbo Baggins for a second when I saw this in my sifter screen.
I'm guessing it is cut glass or crystal and I am guessing it was a necklace jewel ??
Also sifted the thimble. Found the rest with the detector. Found the bone-handled fork as I was digging for the lead tube thingy.
Honeysuckles are in bloom.

You found the Arkenstone! How many gold coins did you need to sift to find it?

Great movie Bucknut. Great book.Originally Posted by Bucknut
Dan, I imagine that piece of glass was a treasure to the dirt poor hardscrabble colonist that lived in that 10' X 10' cabin."The heart of the mountain"
I do like finding thimbles. Would like to find a silver one some day. That site gave up 15 coppers or so when I found it some years back. The youngest being 1809. I'm assuming the fork is a couple hundred years old anyway.
I know! What the heck! That's rarer than Donnie B's shilling !
Drew the Arkenstone came from inside the cellar hole.Nice job, Jeff! That's an old thimble too!
Donnie, yeah I was tossing aside the gold to get to that stone.

That glass could be from a lamp Al. It's just a small round button. Camera angle makes it look oval.
