my girlfriend Tess came up from NJ for the weekend.since i couldn't go detecting i tried my hand at another form of treasure hunting.
got a nice 14KT gold dolphin anklet and a pair of 14kt post earings with pink stones.$5! she kinda adopted em and she's nappin so no pics.
but 2 interesting items i bought were this FORD battery? made of wood and this silver plated tea pot thing -a -ma- jig.it pivots on the cradle and is monogramed on front to SARAH J.O'GALLAHAU JULY 6 TH 1877

Are those your ankles Dave? lol I think you have some great finds there. You seem to do well with or without a detector in your hands! Thanks for sharing.
