A bit of Silver and a nice Antique Brass Pancake Padlock

Some of the more interesting finds since my last post

My first Silver in the 1800's
1887 UK 3 pence
Silver Ring stamped 99,maybe 99% Silver?

A Solid Brass Padlock,these were made from 1870 onwards....?
La Jaynees Lipstick Holder
And some more Bullets from the 'Lands Wars' period

Some Junk Jewellery

A Handful of NZ Pennies

1921 and 1922 Aus Pennies
And a nice condition 1895 UK Half

And two buttons from opposite ends of the world :)
The SA Navy one I found a few weeks back,but just forgot to post

A very productive hunt with Silver and other cool stuff

Went out for a full day hunt with Max.
Max pretty much described the day in on his blog,so I will just show you my finds for the day
$51 in goldies and some other cool stuff

The headless...horseman :)..Pity,cause I like these old lead toys

A really nice Silver ring

Finally a NZ Half crown...have been trying to get one these for ages :):)

Was not expecting to find one of these..
Yet to be cleaned but it looks like 194? Farthing...Cool

All in all it was a very pleasant day out and I reckon we only just scratched the surface of that area
Thanks Max....will definitely be going again soon :)

More Silver from GCF :):)

I have not been out in a while so today I heard the detecting forces calling out to me...couldn't resist :):)
Didn't really have a game plan,so I went back to my favourite haunt and did not leave disappointed

...And some more Silver from GCF

After yesterday I thought I had to go back and try the same methods/settings
Came away with some more spendable money and a nice pendant

This is a nice size pendant(same size as $2 coin)

GCF produces more Silver

I have not been out in a while so I decided to go out to GCF  for the umpteenth time this morning
I went for some deep detecting,digging all those iffy signals and it turns out it wasn't for nought :)

I am convinced there will be some gold jewellery there as well but as of yet I have just been doing the
higher conductivity stuff as there must be a kazillion pulltab signals there and I have to motivate
myself to go and dig them all to find the possible rings hidden amongst it


A nice chunk of .925 Silver

A lot of junky stuff as I was digging everything above my selected VDI

Some Silver and an Old pocket watch

I have not been out too much lately

So only a few things to show :)

The watch has an inscription and date on the back,I am trying to track down the owner but no luck so far and I don't fancy my chances seeing that he most likely would have been a young lad in the 1940-50s

Two similar Sterling Heart rings in the same week....bizarre :)

Old Damaged Silver :(

•  Sampson Mordan continued manufacturing pencils and a wide range of silver objects until the Second World war when their factory was bombed.

• Invented the propelling pencil.

This appears to be a Silver pencil holder from somewhere between 1852- 1910...hallmarks are too worn

Intact it would have looked something like this possibly
