A peak into my treasure box.

I've already inspired a few steemians to want to go metal dectecting. Here's a taste of some of the treasures I have unearthed. Generally speaking silver items and coins are much easier to find than gold. The Lizard thing was a silver pin. It had the makers mark stamped next to sterling mark. To my surprise when I Googled it, the lady is a local California Jeweler, that is still in buisiness. The little sterling gun charm is one of my more recent favorites. That star is an older find from the Russian River in Sonoma County. It's sterling on top of copper, that was a clip on earring. I've read that there is more money lost in the ground than there is in circulation still. People were even less trusting of banks back when silver and gold coins where still used. There may just be a jar full of silver dimes buried in your yard! Some days you will only find trash, but you are still doing a good service for the environment. With a little persistence and luck you could be rewarded handsomely. Please #upvote #follow and maybe even #resteem If you enjoyed my treasures. May all your holes be filled with silver and gold.
