I found this silver ring a few weeks back, I could tell it was old and suspected it may be Native American. I contacted the local Museum of Native American History and in no time at all they confirmed it to be early 20th century Navajo silver. Unfortunately the makers mark is worn off (if it...

I went to an annual church rummage sale. I go there every year, however, this time I paid the $3 admission fee to go to their sneak preview the day before they opened. There had to be 25 people in line waiting to get in when I arrived. There was large area that was full of jewelry. Everyone was...

Gold in the hole! UPDATE: FIRST GOLD! So I was out hunting at three different locations today. In the first two locations, I found all the clad. I just hate finding quarters from 1965! One year away from the goods!(always drives me nuts). Moving on, I went off to a new spot out in the woods...

One of my favorite vendors always has a $2.00 box full of individually bagged jewelry. She is always replenishing it and I love rummaging through the box for treasures. I found three treasures; 1) Cimaruta .800 pendant - it's marked 800 on back. No makers mark. 2.75" long, 2.25" width...

Pretty sure it's elephant hair and ivory. I've owned since the '60's. Can anyone shed more light on this item?

Hi, My father is looking to buy a metal detector to use in beaches (salty water) in hopes of finding coins and jewelry. We live in Israel so it's sunny most of the time and humidity is relatively high, though most of the hunting will probably be conducted during the winter, which isn't very...

This past Friday I went to a garage sale that had jewelry. I wasn't able to get to it until noon so I really wasn't excepting to find anything good. I figured it was picked over but I took a ride over being it was only a few mins away and I was curious. When I got there the lady holding the sale...

Last week I went to two church thrift stores and found a treasure in each store. 1) Horse with inlaid stones and beads necklace. Not signed, however, I believe its a Lee Sands vintage piece. I can't seem to find one exactly like this on the internet to find the value so I am hoping its a rare...

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...

Found this out on an old 1920s farm house. After a debate on reddit, someone finally guessed that the shape was the continent of Africa. Anyone seen a slave bracelet like this? I'm in nc, in a rural area that had been populated since the revolutionary war. Image- Imgur

Was my grandparents what is it

Went to a few yard sales after a fun night clubbing for my friend's 23rd birthday. At a yard sale I stumbled upon a really nice looking cameo necklace. Was gonna list it on Ebay, but I couldn't find out anything about the markings on the back (It keeps redirecting me to "shipping"). As I'm...

I went to an estate sale since school was canceled.. I thought it might be fun for the kids, since they had never been.. Well I usually only buy old books, this one had a couple pieces of jewelry I fell in love with .. I am just wondering how they are?. I doubt they worth much since they only...

Hi everyone thanks for the read. I found this piece on a park near downtown Minneapolis that's surrounded by residential apartments. back in the 1840's this park was farmland before it was turned into a park in 1886. I had found what appeared to be a Clydesdale horseshoe from the same era when...

I recently inherited a lot of jewelry from my grandmother. So much of it is interesting to me, including this piece. I tried googling the word 'Abex' to see if I could get any info, but found nothing! I'm hoping someone may know something about it. On the clasp, there is a little sideways...

I got this wading in the water at the beach. It isn't much of a ring, but I guess it counts. The sight of that stone sparkling in the scoop still makes my heart skip a beat!

Hello Friends, I'm very fortunate that there's a great old-timer I know who's a family friend, and he lets me hunt his property whenever I like. It's an old house that started as a general store in the 1830s, set on about 8 acres. I've mostly hunted the immediate back yard, and every time I dig...
