Cherry Picking again. SILVER!

Spent the weekend housebound with 'manflu' so there was not much going on in the treasure hunting department. Feeling like a box of fluffy ducks today so we got out to the 'park' to cherry pick amongst the ring pulls and bottle caps. Came up with these few beauties. Two English florins in one hole, a couple of pennys dug from amongst at least a dozen pull tabs surrounding them, the earing, maybe silver but no markings, and the ring............not sure on this one it has a mark that is "Z EP" and the three tiny stones  don't sparkle much, so I'm guessing  gold plated junk metal and glass stones.Still I'm well pleased with pulling out the florins.

    Very nice finds! Well worth braving the pull tab infestation. Love those florins as well.

    What a bonus getting two florins at once.
    Yup EP = electroplated.
