Hello all,,,
It's been awhile since I have posted anything. I've been a little under the weather, and also trying to hide from it. ( I hate winter ) Anyway, I have manage to get out a few times this last month and lucked into a few goodies.
Found this 1896o Barber Quarter at the cache site at a depth of only 4" down. The 1876s Seated Dime was also found at the cache site a few days later at a depth of 4" also... It was in fairly good condition until I scratched the heck out of it...

went back out yesterday and found a few wheaties and this Special Olympics Medal at a depth of about 7" down. It reads, " Special Olympics / Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. / Foundation / Chapter " and has thier logo on the other side. It's 2" in diameter and made of cast/pot metal and is plated with either copper?, or bronze?

Anyone with any idea of the age on this one?..
I found one on ebay similar to it, but it doesn't give any details about it...

This next object pictured was found by a friend of mine. It's about 2" long, and about 1" wide and is made of silver. Not sure if the blue is just glass, or some type of stone, but it sure is pretty to look at...

Hello all,,,
I thought I would give you all an update on the "Blue Stoned Broach". I just talked with my friend and he said he had taken it to a jeweler. They told him the stone is an Opal... Said the value would be somewhere around $100.oo. Does this sound about right to you all?, or is the jeweler trying to put one over on him?.. I know I wouldn't let it go for that.

Good luck, & Happy hunting~
 

Wow......beautiful brooch your friend has Leon. I'd say the jeweler is probably right. Could probably fetch more on EBAY....who knows.

So good to see your post buddy.....hope you stay well and swingin!!

HH,
Moon
