Here is a pic of a ring my hubby found in our backyard. It is stamped: 10K G.F. & Sterling on the inside. I had found a ring in the front yard...will post photo later.
The object next to it...is a perfume bottle. Hubby found this in his mother's backyard (12 houses down from us). We thought at first, some kind of weight...but my mother in law saw it and said it was her perfume bottle. She said she had it when she worked for Olan Mills, but does not remember where she got it. Time frame is mid to late 70's. I did find a place on the net that had a similar looking bottle, called BETTY ALLEN PERFUME BOTTLE BRACELET (if you type that in a search engine, you will see a link and a photo of it). This is not metal, as a magnetic will not stick to it. I think it's the cutest little thing
I think these are pretty cool. I will post other photos as I get them taken of other finds. I did find 7 wheat pennies in my front yard though..>I was tickled about that. Dates range from 1941 to 1958. OH, and I found an old spoon, broken handle...but so cool!!! Will post photo of that later too. Found that at the side of my house. This land was farm land for over 75 yrs. Our house was built in the mid 60's. From an ol' timer in the neighborhood, he said where our street is...dirt was pulled from there and piled on the ground where our houses are at. So, it's possible the spoon was actually at one time, where the street is now.
Thanks for letting me share with you....keeping posting...love hearing your stories and seeing your finds!!
