Hey, everyone! These items were all found within the last month at various sites. The first item is a little brooch pin marked Sterling with the H in a triangle hallmark. A little research turned up an F. A. Hermann who worked with enamel on sterling. Probably why the pin has what I can only describe as "glue like blobs" in areas on the face that will not come off and I didn't want to risk damaging it. It was actually found in a dirt parking lot at an old hotel site. The same spot I found the gorgeous 1915 Barber quarter, 1900 & 1914 Barber dimes. I wasn't able to find my exact pin but I'll include individual photos. The second item is a ring marked 925 in a small oval. Couldn't find much on it but it's a cool little ring. The third item was actually found today and although the letters and one section of the slide (I'll explain) are marked sterling I'm a little skeptical. I'm not entirely sure what it even is. The fourth is a little more obvious. A 1948 Washington found at another old hotel site. The last was a very exciting find for me. I laid them out how they were originally but not how I found them. Marked Sterling is a galloping horse brooch pin. Found it in a spot I've hit a million times. It hit like a penny so you can imagine my excitement when my pinpointer knocks a silver horse loose...then another and another. I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do and any more information on items is appreciated.

Notice how the letters and the one slide piece are marked but the front of the letters have some corrosion. The backs are shiny though. Could that be from the frame not being sterling?

I love these horses. I'm wondering a time frame but haven't been able to find anything that has 4 horses.

Thanks! Happy hunting.

Nice ring and horses. Thanks for sharing ! Good luck with finding more !
 

Thanks everyone! Any jewelry people out there think it's worth getting the pins restored or is it not worth the money?
