Hello all,
I don't care if this is real or not, it will probably be one of my most spectacular finds...
I only use the word SPECTACULAR because, thats the way I felt when I saw it.
My hunting partner ( My Cousion Dave, who got me into detecting ) & I went to a local park today. It was one of those parks that is suposed to be old, but there was not much in the way of hits, like it has been cleaned out, or back filled.
I wasn't dig'n much of anything except some clad, and a brass buckle, not too old, I don't think. Anyway, I would have normaly not dug this signal, figuring it was just a coin on the surface, or a bottle cap,,, but the day was slow and I wasn't dig'n much. So,, This was the result.. I will be dig'n alot more signals from now on.... The only Markings on it are: " GM " & "925". It seems to have been plated with gold?, although most of it is worn off, you can see it between the center diamond & the bands, and also in the groves on the backside.... I looked up Some Makers Marks and saw "GM" could be the mark of Gidian Myrick. He was born in 1736, he was a gold smith, and was lost at sea...Could I be that lucky?
If anyone has any info on this piece, I would appreciated any replys... Thank You!
