the new spot

[texta]

just got back from the new spot and scored a bit of a mixed bag.
not cleaned yet but i have
1 penny
1 shilling
1 sixpence
4 threepence's
a ring that looks a lot older than me and in very poor nick but i think its gold
and i think the chain off a pocket watch complete with the little jiggers on each end
the chain is heavy too so maybe silver ????????????? dont know
a button
and the newest curse in this spot .22 cases

Funny not swinging just pushing around,but still silver and gold (?)

That site is the thickest I have seen anyone detecting in and all those .22 shorts.

Top result :Y:

got chance to clean up the last haul been a bit busy . the watch chain and the ring are still in soaking but so sure now they are anything special . anyway here are the cleaned silvers from my 3rd swing at this spot .geez i would love to mow this area but that would be a dead give away probably best i just battle on maybe hack a few tufts down here and there with a machete or some thing .anyone know what those old watch chains were normally made from ????
