I went out today and mostly just got the usual. But one item really stood out.
Before I get to that, here's a couple other interesting finds.
Just a fairly modern token.
I was more impressed by my hearing this little cross than what it might be.
It has a screw on backing.
Then, there was this one.
Or should I say three? '44, '46, 50 But that's not all, they were all in the same hole! LOL
And that brings me to this last one. There's a little story behind this one. I was winding down and started looking for my "exit find". I always try to leave on a positive note. As I was going I was continuing my communing with nature and talking with the Lord as I always do. (Hopefully, I'm still just talking in my head. LOL ) Anyway, I digress.
I was just saying, "Ok, Lord, what will be the exit sign today?" Then I got a decent penny hit and said that's fine. I'll be happy to leave on a penny. But, as soon as I dug I saw the foillowing:
All I saw was a rather plain looking back of a crucifix but that was fine too. It looked like silver but I didn't care. Sure seemed like an answer to me! I knocked a little more dirt off and uncovered more of the back. Still fine. When I turned it over I actually said, yuck! LOL
I thought maybe it would look better in the waning sunlight. So, I took another.
I said, "YUCK! That's the UGLIEST crucifix I ever saw! But Ok Lord! Good nuff fer me!"
When I got it home I was rinsing it off and trying to see if there was a sterling stamp on the back.
Nope. But, imagine my surprise when I turned it over and really saw the front for the first time!
I just have to say, this is the PRETTIEST thing I have ever found! Intrinsic value of this one means nothing to me.
Over all, nice day, nice hunt and a beautiful find!
Here's everything together.
Hope my little story was enjoyable.
Thanks for peeking!
