Tiny Liberty bell...Silver?

[niffler]

I was searching under a bridge that goes across an irrigation canal, and I was getting some junk jewelry and corroded modern coins, when my DFX gave a good clear signal. It was this little Liberty bell, about 4 inches down. It looks silver, but it isn't marked. This canal site has some strange stuff. You never know what will turn up next. Also got a Caesars Tahoe medallion on a chain, an aluminum chain bracelet marked Made In Germany, and a big thingy marked Team Kwik that has a spider on it. Thanks and good luck, Niffler.

Not sure how to really verify silver yet, so can't help there, but those are all really cool finds!

Almost like someone lost their jewelry box on that canal bridge. Great hunt.

I like the Liberty Bell...any jeweler can test it for you.

Looks like you've found a great site!

That is a very cool find indeed.

If you have not cleaned it since you found it...I will say it has the "look" silver, just a bit of tarnish, the right luster, and so on.

What did your detector say it was ?

Does it have a good "ring" ?

Nice finds. I think it may be pewter as well, but hopefully it is silver. That would be sweet. HH

Hi, thanks for the nice replies. It rings up as +81 on my DFX with the 6" excellerator EQ2 coil. That is well into the silver range. I am not sure where pewter is on the VDI scale. The area under the bridge where I found it is a place I go if I don't have another site lined up, but only in the spring while the water is not in the canal. Thanks and HH, Niffler
