Good news, Bad news......
Got permission to hunt 2 more closed schools, both dating back to the late 1800's and showing lots of promise. First one produced 11 coins of which 6 were pre decimals, all pennys and a couple of them early 1900's British. May be worth another look but the trash to coin ratio was huge. The second school produced 13 coins, 12 of them decimal....... supprisingly the 13th was a British 1916 shilling. I have a feeling this school may not quite be on its original site. So thats the bad news...........Good news is today we headed back to a park in a town nearby we hunted recently. Total haul 29 coins, including 8 toasted pennys, a 1/2 penny, $4.50 in spending and the usual old decimals. Nice to find an almost intact Fun Ho D8 bulldozer, a Fun Ho holden chassis and the little stg silver bracelet was a bonus. I think the round lead thing with 2 holes is an old hem weight?

A good haul Guy.
ReplyDeleteGee your a bit lucky being able to straighten that bangle without a fracture. I have the same design bangle. Is yours stamped H & S STG SIL.?
Yep, same mark. Does yours have a small stone set in it? I have had a bit of experience with silverwork in the past, I used to make a bit of jewellery many moons ago, so straightening the bangle and past rings is not a problem if: 1.It's not cracked to begin with and 2. You use a hardwood mandrill and a copper hammer, both of which I still own.I have improvised in the past for rings using the tapered handle of a rolling pin for a mandrill.......works well!
ReplyDeleteNo stone in mine. :-(
ReplyDeleteYou must have the delux version.
Jewellery making is a really handy skill to have with this hobby. I suppose a plastic hammer would be ok too?
Good haul Guy,sure like that fun ho toy
