Had an epic day today. First signal of the day was a sterling silver ring with wee stones in it. Stoked. Then not long after that I got a 9ct gold bangle weighing 8 grams. Very stoked. Then a long while after that I popped out a beaut sterling silver thimble. Super stoked. Hallmarks put this from Chester and date it at 1889. Maker is Henry Griffith & Son who only established in 1887. Also found a large musket ball, a nice Victorian broach and a few nice silvers. The buckle and second silver ring are from a previous hunt.
