Here is some of the Jewelry that I have unearthed over the last year...

15 Grams of 14K Gold - Braclet...

Here was the 15 grams of 14K Gold I got on Dec 28, 2009... the Saturday after Christmas... It was warm and I went out for 90 minutes...
 
The small loop just behind the lobster claw was barely open... but open enough to be dropped... It was just under the grass near the entrance door of a local school...

Rings Rings and Rings...

I did nab a few rings in 2008... only one gold... it rang as an 8 on my XT/70... Just above the foil range and just under nickle... But I was in the "You never know unless you DIG IT!" I was glad I did :-) Its 10K with a Ruby and small diamond... There rest are all sterling silver...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ear Rings, Pins, and a Cross...

Here is a large sterling ear ring with some gold in the middle... Kokopelli is hunchbacked flute playing fertility deity of the Anasazi...
 
The Cross is 10K Gold Filled... :-( and the last earring is an unknow... I need to have a jewler look at it...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
April 26th - 1st Gold Jewelry for 2009...

I went back t the same school I've been working over the last week that yielded the barber, indian, buffalo and many wheaties...

 

I set the detector down, ground balanced and swing, swing, and typical pull tab signal at 2-4 inches... but every now and then the pull tab signal turned out to be a gold ring...  It is stamped 417 that equals 41.7% gold or 10K...

 

Its a small ring and I dug it 30 foot from where I got the 1899 its on... it has an 'E' on the front... perhaps a baby ring....

The company was established in 1850 by R. J. Wood whose sons later became partners...
