Well I finally had a chance to get a bit of swinging in... not much but a bit.
Been clearing the back property and found an old cabin site.
Pretty much all rotted away but the stove.
When I get the brush cleared I like to run a detector over the site in hopes of finding cool stuff.
My property is Sierra Nevada Gold rush land with quite a bit of history back to the early 1850's.
I found a lot of the usual stuff... tin cans, square nails, rusted pieces of tin that sort of things.
Some of the better finds were a ceramic beer stopper, toe tap, a brass ring that had a bit if gold plating still left, two Chinese coins and this Cuff Link.
It's Epithermal Gold in Quarts. Now if I hadn't seen posts on FB I would have thought custom jewelry.
The Gold kind of splashes or flows through the stone, not like the Placer Gold we have around here that runs in veins.
I contacted the person on FB and he said it looked like specimen Gold out of or around White Pine Nevada or maybe even from the Delamar District.
A lot of this Gold was mine in the late 1800's to the early 1900's.
This type of jewelry is quite rare and to find it on my own property is an amazing find.
Thanks for looking.
