Popular Post kac Posted November 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2019 Went out for a bit earlier today and found these. The quarter was shallow on edge of what was a small orchard. The locket hinge still works but the photo has disolved away. Locket was pretty deep under a good size rock. Think it was silver plated at one time. Grounds starting to freeze so might be getting close to the end of the season. I'll call it a day when my digger makes a clank sound and I can't dig. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal_Cobra Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Nice digs!! I found a similar locket at a Spanish mission site when they had a big demo to develop the lot for commercial use (it's now occupied by a small strip mall ? I had permission from the lot owner to detect it, and found a similar locket. It had a photo printed on the glass, that when I initially unearthed it was clearly visible, and after a few days it basically disappeared. I guess it didn't like light after being in the ground for what, 150 years? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kac Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Thats my 2nd seated quarter this year and both in pretty descent shape. I was surprised it wasn't worn out more where it was close to the road and only 6" deep or so. Thanks for the info on the locket. The area is an estate that was owned by a dr. during the civil war then by Nuns, now town forest and they hold events there. I believe the orchard was put in by them and long gone now. Just sinkholes where the trees were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
