Well i finally got around to hitting the beach up this weekend. i am way more interested in historical items. But with the proximity of the fort being so close, i thought what the heck. It could be the best of both worlds. Since the state wont let me metal detect any where inside the historic...
Hello Fellow Hunters, I had gone to are local Fireworks display put on by the city and was amazed by the multi city turn out it was good to see, well I managed to get back on 06July and ended up at the Soccer field I figured what the heck ground is moist anyways but I started finding deep...
I have a ring I bought a year or 2 ago. I paid about $800 for it and it’s real. Gold with diamonds. (See pictures)
Here’s the problem, the inside of the ring says 4k… Not 14k, 4K! I can’t seem to find out what the heck the deal is because from what I have read they don’t normally mark jewelry...
Found this vintage looking scarab style bracelet on the towel lines. The bracelet looks vintage possibly. Spring ring style clasp with stamped plate that looks to have a 14 in a square and either a hallmark or inscription above it. Gems don’t look real but I’m no expert??!! Either way cool...
Found by my dad, I have yet to find my first ring but I wanted to share his find here in case it leads to any new info on it. Will probably get it professionaly looked at eventually.
It says Sterling 14k on the inside and has what we think is an aquamarine stone.
Was around 3" deep rang up an...
I dug this Dolan and Bullock Sterling and 14k bracelet a couple of days ago and can't find much info on dating their hallmarks and haven't found another thats just like it. It weighs 41g and that's about all I know.
I could tell you a big drawn out story but in this case the pics tell most of the story.
Saturday I found this Olan Mills pendent, it's not stamped other than the TM name, so I'm guessing it's plated. There's still a bit of glue from where I believe it would have had a portrait.
Today I...
I bought this watch off a guy for $30 and was looking to resell it. I it and sell antiques but this is my first watch I have ever had. Does anyone know the value of it. It does not run.
I Have a tie clasp I've dug up & it's marked 14k. It acid test 14k & not to 18k. My issue is the spring is the only thing magnetic on this piece. I've been told that making springs from gold is not a good idea because gold won't retain it's bent properties enough for a spring. Thus the reason...
About ten steps from where I parked the transport I noted some interesting Nickel like signal and dug, after prying with the screwdriver a bit a yellow metaled ring popped out of the soil in situ. Bagged it up and kept going, thinking plated ring probably. Next near Nickel Signal was a Pull-Tab...
I purchased this 14k gold buckle and belt at my local thrift shop. It's stamped and verified by local gold place. I paid 50-cents. Sweet deal. :icon_thumleft:
Hey everyone. The year started off a bit late for me because the weather took forever to turn! I've been hitting the parks and I found 2 14k items at one park! The pendant/chain is weird though... it seems far more corroded than any gold item I've ever seen. when I accidentally scratched it...
I bought a watch for $5.00 at a rummage sale and these clips were attached to the watch. The watch itself wasn't gold. Their for a ladies watch. I usually see turquoise set in sterling, so this was a nice surprise. The clips are stamped 14k with makers mark "SG". They are yellow gold. Does...
I found this on a track today and can find no information on whether it is a real or fake marked item. The detail is exquisite so it is a paradox. It is a religious medal about the size of a quarter depicting Christs's head. As you can see, the medal seems to be two toned with the face beeing...
