More Big Silver From Lovers Lane

[deano]

The area that I have given the name "Lovers Lane" has turned out to be quite the honey hole. (Forgive me for the play on words) These are my finds from the last three trips there.
1909S Barber Half 1943P War Nickel
1952D Franklin Half 1917 Buffalo
1942 Washington 1920 Buffalo
1900 Barber Dime No date Buffalo
1916 Barber Dime 1892 IH
1817S Merc 1906 IH
1918D Merc 1907 IH
1935 Merc 52 Wheat Pennies
1957 Rosie

I also found the silver Native American bracelet in 2 pieces about a foot apart and the sterling ring. The Ireton iowa token is unusual as I have never seen this type of token with a business name on it. I also added some pics of some of the other things I've dug at this sight. The Douglass lighter is really cool, it has a patent date of 1926 on it and I found it along with 9 wheats (teens, twenties and thirties) in the same hole. Thanks for looking and HH

Deano , You gotta be kiddin me man ! That is three hunts ? thats like five years of finds
for me ! Can you please put a picture up showing the hallmarks on the inside of the bracelets ,
they appear to be of Navajo manufacture - circa 1930's -40's likely of Bell trading co. Made for
sale at railroad tourist shops founded by Fred Harvey - a major hotelier in the southwest -
He operated tourist hotels/gift shops thru out New Mexico , Arizona , Colorado , I think California
as well . For you to find two of these bracelets is remarkable . The other finds are stupifying as well.
I live in Santa Fe , NM. and these bracelets are a known item around here , and gaining in value !
Great finds ! Argentium.

Apologies ! I just re read your post , and saw that the one bracelet was in two pieces . Argentium.

 

[jewelerguy]

wow awesome digs

Deano , Just had a closer look at the bracelet - the swastika design places this earlier than the 40's
more like earlier thirties - before it's use as a Nazi symbol - In many cultures this devise was a good
luck symbol , prior to its darker associations . Argentium.

There are no hallmarks that I can see. Very seldom do I find authentic Native silver jewelry with any markings at all but 9 times out of ten it tests good, it has already passed the magnet test.

I think the designs origin is Native American

We all wish we could find a spot like yours. What a great spot! No more merry widows? Must of been only one widow in that town, and she got merry only on a full moon. Hope you find a 1916-d dime or something as rare, GL. HH
