    Best find this year

    While searching a totlot and digging up lots of pulltabs I was about to give up as I only had gotten a few clad coins, and I get another nickel signal at the bottom of a slide. Thinking it was just another pulltab I almost didn't dig it up.
    I pushed my digger in the woodchips and saw a golden color small item. I slowly pulled a bit of chain out........it seemed endless as I didn't want to break it.

    After I got it out I sat on a banch and looked close at it. It had 14K Italy on the clasp and was 24 inches long.

    It is my best jewelry find this year.
