    1st keeper of the new year

    Got out for awile today, found some thawed ground and got my 1st keeper , a 1896 idian head with my e-track, yard ive been to many times and it was about 7 in ches down, also 2 wheats , a 1911 and 1957, these to jewlery pc, i got at an auction in a box of stuff for a buck, any ideas on them i know they are circa 1940s and made in italy, wonder about the value? also this mini railroad spike , we had a narrow gauge railroad here years back i think its from there

    Maybe your Explorer pulled out all the silver last year. You were pretty proficient with it.

    First, congrats on the Indian and wheats. I love the E trac and Indians lol That jewelry looks like it is well made and not just cheap costume stuff. Very nicely enameled. I would not part with them quickly Great finds.
