Here are pics of the necklace pendant up close.

The last pic shows that there might have been some writing along the outter edge, but it's faint (even in close-up) and might be Greek, or some other language. I never could see it until I enlarged the pic.

Wow, that is quite a pile of money there :cheering: Nice silver as well, and it looks like the soil up there was pretty gentle on those wheaties.

Great that you were able to hunt of that trip. I love hunting away from home.

I was just thinking about my total number of finds there. When you think about how long it takes to pinpoint, cut a plug, probe, search, (repeat dig and probe as needed), recover target, (fondle and stroke the silver finds :smitten: ) and replace dirt / plug.... It's easily at least 3 minutes per target. I know some deep or off-center ones were easily way more than that. 300 targets = 900 minutes of recovery. That's 15 hours spent digging KEEPERS. I dont know how much trash I dug, since I dumped it each day. It's hard to believe I got any ground covered at all!
