Out of the surf and into the turf.

[Jason in Enid]

After a long, scorching hot and dry summer we have finally started to get some rain. I got out for a couple hours several times this week for some turf pirating.

While my goal is always for nice old silver coins, I'm not turning away any form of precious metal. I was able to pull several Wheaties, a Buffalo nickel, and half of a gold locket from a sidewalk tearout. From a park and practice field I pulled the silver rings and silver whatzit. I don't know what it is, but it's 8 grams of unmarked silver. I think that it came from a musical instrument since the HS band practices here.

I believe the stone in the ring is a ruby. It is faceted even on the bottom so I don't think its cheap paste.

I also found a nice pile of clad, but no silver coins yet.

Thank you.

Someone helped me identify my mystery item. It looks like the crown to a flute. I sanded an edge to see if it was plated and all I saw was more silver. I'm suprised it's not stamped.

Hey Jason, saw this post on the other forum. I do too think that the stone is a ruby. Very nice!!! I hope to get in the water one day too.

Gold, Ruby, silver rings, very nice. The silver coins will come. Congrats on all your finds

Its all silver and nice to find. I believe your right about the ruby. Looking at the style of the ring and it is silver why would they use a fake. :clapping: :clapping:
