    Saturday with the gang at GGP

    M.T., Judi, Mike and I got together for at GGP yesterday for a nice day of hunting in the sun. I was really pleased that everyone was on the boards with silver before lunch. The free lunch wagon side show, and the continuous beat of the drums make for an interesting Saturday afternoon. I swear those drums are interfering with my ability to listen to low conductor signals You just gotta keep telling yourself to ignore it and concentrate on those signals under the coil. Now for my finds:

    We keep pounding the same area, but yet it continues to produce . I found the 1939S Merc in the morning, and the silver bracelet and silver ornament in the latter part of the afternoon. The silver bracelet taught me to pay more attention to low conductors, because it came it at CO=10 on my E-Trac. It just sounded good, compared to foil which often comes in at CO=10. Anyone care to guess what the silver ornament piece was been part of? It looks like its from the Victorian period, but I'm no expert. Judi suggested it might have been the ornament to a cane, which is the best plausible guess so far.

    Well hopefully our silver streak will continue next week. Stay tuned and happy hunting!

    -Alex

    Nice silver Alex. I'm assuming the back side of that piece is blank. It could be anything. I know small picture frames were popular back then. Could also be some kind of brooch too. It may just be a small part of something bigger. Whatever it is, looks like you had a great day there. If the finds keep coming, why move? You are smart to stay and work it out. Great job on the silver. Was very surprised to see a CO of 10 for anything silver. Could it be a mix or is it just the thin design that is fooling the numbers?

    its cool when ya get a few together to share the hobby and a little friendly competition between friends is good for the soul . the marks on the silver thing look hand tooled ,maybe the inside part of a picture locket .
