I Got Stoned On Sterling Today...

[Subterranean]

Went back to the public lawn that gave up the "whale-tail" bracelet and multiple sterling pieces last week. Spent two hours there before the rain. There was still more there! Favorite find of the day was the sterling wire cage wrapped stone pendant. Rang up like a Lincoln cent on the ATMax.

PS: Anyone have a clue on the one piece Nascar statue? Is it pewter or a similar metal?

Cheers, and get out and dig if you can! Sub

Nice find Sub. That piece reminds me of when my family and I use to do Lapidary work back in the 70's. We use to cut and polish our own stones, and put them into ring settings and other "different" type settings like the one you found. That could very well be a homemade piece.

I believe that's Mark Martin's 1992 #6 'Valvoline' Ford Thunderbird

Yes, they were cast in pewter. Part of the Action Platinum Series set. And it may be serial #'ed somewhere underneath.

Thank you! The necklace and unicorn pendant were in a neat little pile just below the surface of the grass. They rang up the same as a modern nickle. Unfortunately, they are plated, but in excellent condition so I am sure one of my grandkids will claim it! Cheers.

Thank you Trezurehunter. I was advised that the blue stone may be larimar. Cheers, Sub

Nice hunt I would guess that silver pendant thing was a custom piece tthat Nascar is awesome I didnt know they made them in pewter. I have some of the bigger versions. My Daughter would have ripped that unicorn outta my hands there would be nothing but skid marks left lol Glad tou got a good buzz today with the stone... Great hunt Stay safe out there Tommy
