Finds from 5/13 and 5/18, Closed Swimming Area, Big Sliver x2?

[K Zack]

My last 2 Hunts have been at a closed swimming area, it has now been moved about 100 feet west.
I picked up a lot of clad change 7 Rings, 1 Sliver and 6 junk.
I also pickup a 1902 V Nickel, a 1960 Canadian Dime, 2 fishing Reels,
A Presidential Coin, a toy 25 cent piece, and a Craig’s Cursers game token,

and 17 wheat Pennies.

I also picked up 2 Bracelets, 1 last Sunday that I listed on the What is It thread,
and 1 yesterday, I have not checked them, so I am not sure they are Sliver.

The top bracelet I found last Sunday, the other 1 yesterday.

The Chain Bracelet I can not get a good look at the numbers on the clasp.

17 Wheat Pennies


1902 V Nickel, 1960 Canadian Dime, Play 25 Cent Piece.


I do not have a clue what it used to be.


Winchester 16 ga, Unfired.


1 Silver marked 925.


2 Fishing Reels, 1 marked 1964.


I will be back out at this Lake on Sunday May 20th.
Thank you for looking and Happy Hunting
Kevin

The top Bracelet is 2.3 oz's and the Chain Bracelet is just over 1 oz.
I have to thank Mackaydon and Crusader for their help on the top Bracelet.

I think you have more silver rings than you know - both bracelets are silver
buy yourself a lupe -(jewelers magnifier)
I am surprised your not getting gold yet - drop you discriminate down maybe
got to be more
Good luck

Check the local library they may have a local history book with some pictures. The town I live in has 2 parks that had swimming areas in them, 1 no longer has a lake at all and the other hasn't had swimming for 50 years now. I found a local history book at the library that had a lot of pictures of town, in it was pics of both parks while they had the swimming areas. Worth a shot.

Great finds, quite the assortment.

 

[Theakiki]

You have what I'd call a honey hole!

 

[K Zack]

Casper-2, Glen, you are Correct.
A closer look and I think the 2 rings on the right are most likely silver,
Top Left is Siam Sliver, it also looks like it might be inlaid with White Gold, very soft.
What is siam sterling



Thank You for the heads up.

You are correct and Thank you.
All most all of the Crusty Rings I have pulled out of the inland lakes have been Copper, first 5 or 6 years I checked them. I gave up latter and just drop them in the Mason jar.
I have the Ecal set one 1, I will Zero it out today and see what that will do.

Thank you everyone for your comments.
This spot is right in town and like most everyone else, I just assumed it had been Hunted to death.
I have been to this Lake many times in the last 15+ years, look it over and walk away.
It is almost 80 degrees out side already, so I will be back in the water shortly.
There has Got to be Gold out there somewhere and I Want It!!!!
Happy Hunting

With all that numerous assortment of goodies you would think that more still remain. I'd go back and hunt it again. I believe the name "Siam" is the old name for the country of Thailand. My guess is that the silver
ring was made in Thailand. Nice finds!

 

[jewelerguy]

those are some outstanding finds! that place must have some age to it

Siam is part of Thailand, I found some history on it.
I went back to the lake today but it would seem that I am the only one who knows that part of the lake is closed to swimming.
Way to many people there to do any good.

Thank you
It was set aside as a park in I think 1880 or somewhere in that ballpark.
