    The Bling and the Beautiful

    First all the bling... The ring with F on it is a Fendi ring and is gold plated brass BUT it sells online for $350! Seems ridiculous that a brass ring would go for that.

    Here is a pic of the good finds. Most came from Buffalo Beach. Lots of Rosies and some other nice older coins. The Indians and one of the mercs came from a street tear out.

    Here is the gold I found. The pendant is 18k and weighs 4.42 grams. The other gold is a broken ring. It tested at 10k. Probably some yellow garnet or citrine stones.

    Awesome coins and bling, Jared! Are those V Nickels?

    That 18k gold pendent is incredible! What a great find!

    Thanks. There are a couple slicked out V niks. One is from 1896 but to get that date I had to dremmel the “rust” off and then use nik-a-date.

    WOW! Nice pile of goodies! I'm not likely to ever find any gold at these poor hard scrabble cellar hole sites in the woods that I hunt. I just might have to hit some beaches this winter.

    Tony you are showing your age with the Yukon Cornelius pic. His battle with the abonimable snowman was something I looked forward to every year as a little kid.
