So these are the finds from the third trip to an 1850's house. I'd say I split detecting and mowing on this hunt 50-50 as the caretakers lawn mower had broken. Surprisingly he did not have an issue with me mowing the yard so I could detect! I tried a few new areas I hadn't detected in the back, but found mostly modern junk, this place has been a rental property for the last 25 years. So I went to where the finds were last time, and started gridding the front yard in another direction. Barber dimes always surprise me when I find them, they almost always ring up like a clad dime, or sometimes a wheat penny. The ring I almost didn't find as I had gotten into the 5 foot swatch that boarders the road which was filled with tons of trash. I had made a decision not to detect it much as my time is limited. I had dug some canslaw the signal before it, and almost didn't dig it because of that. I'm glad I did. Even though it's gold shell 14k, it's still pretty nice. BTW, I was able to research GS standing for gold shell, but I never found reference to it being spelled out like it is on this ring. Anyone have an idea as to its age?
Enjoy the pics,
