An unusual find

[steve in so la]

These ear rings were about 2 ft apart. Usually one gets only one ear ring. These are the most silver looking things I have ever seen that are not silver, and are quite heavy. They are not stamped and my acid test showed them to not be silver. In my 28 years digging this is only the 3 rd set I have dug.

Also dug these 2 silver dimes, one is crudded quite a bit even tho it came from the same close area as the other. haven't really cleaned them yet.

Lastly, I dug the silver war nickel and 2 transportation tokens. The small one is from here in Tucson while the large one is from Danville - I presume Illinois. How did that get here I wonder.
Also dug 4 wheats and a bunch of clad. We had a very unusual rainfall last night - monsoons working overtime to give us about 4 inches of rain in my rain gage . steve in so az

Definately a very interesting find Steve.
I'm not sure but they may be platinum if they weren't magnetic.

The Danille token could be from VA, CA, IL, IN, KY, AR, GA, IA, KS, or LA.

I don't think I've ever found both earings in a hunt

Nice earrings, Steve, and I too have found both of them when I was detecting a sandy beach by the Current River's swimming area and maybe others.......just cannot remember and I don't know where my notes are!

God Bless!
