Hey mate, those 'meteorites' are interesting. have you managed to have them confirmed as being authentic yet?
Shame about the photo quality... Cant really tell too much from them. Nice gold bangle, i never seen to find any gold jewellery with my detector
And now....On sandy beaches and muddy soil, rings and coins await my coil!

no stamps but sure its silver.


Nice find Chrisyboy.
If it is silver there should be a .925 or sterling on it somewhere but its going to be small.
The letters are a bit of a mystery.

Nice but really unusual bangle - any marks on it?
Is it gold, silver, copper?

Some great stuff there - if you dont watch it there might be an exodus from the deep South to the far North - a plague of Goldbug wielding Southerners poaching on your plot!
Serious though - you are finding some nice bits and pieces and it is great seeing them.

Thats some spot you got there chrisyboy. And all to yourself. Might take some time to clean it up, may never clean up a spot of that size and nature. Its held treasures for a hundred years or more so it will hold them for another.
