Xterra 705 finds

[Sandta]

Hey smokey,i got one of those myself ( quite a while back now) as was also shown by Silver
Wasnt long till i busted it too
Like silver said , broke at the weld point
So i did a bit of a lesche modification
Has stood its ground ever since
Mind you its not my go to tool , that is the real lesche, but i have 3 different hand diggers that each get used in their own ideal conditions for the job at hand.

Those ones look like a Chinese taco

 

[Danny13]

You will probably find a 1930 smoky with those . Shame the Chinese writing is too faded to read properly . But anything that is a Chinese pendant is usually a good luck charm , to ward off bad spirits . It's a very superstitious culture. Wish I found those !

. Better finding those than the patron saint of bad luck B5 found :lol: :lol:

 

[Danny13]

A pair of boats smokey , looks like 2 symbols have been rubbed off, good luck charms are composed of 4 symbols usually and accompanied by a tangible object . Which in your case smoky are boats . They do come in gold ! I found a turtle which is another good luck charm but more common

 

[Wally69]

Sycee or Yuenbao - the ancient Chinese traded ingots of silver and gold in that shape and today the shape is sybolic for luck in wealth creation

 

[Danny13]

Yup Wally69 the shape has not changed that much, but there are plenty of picks of the pure 24 karat looking kind on Google, and is symbolic as you say for wealth , creation and prosperity , so smoky a 1930 might be coming your way tomorrow

Hope so danny...i am going to an old house site tomoz.. The house was demolished 30yrs ago..and there's junk everywhere...will really test the terras discrimination...Should i rub the charms togeather or something before the search

 

[Danny13]

Smoky that I don't know , put them in your pocket and make sure there is no holes in them
