Default Nice Loot!

You are doing better than most of us today. It's a little slow out there with all the sand piling up.

Nice old digs there, That signant ring appears to be from the 30's to 50's IMHO. That bracelet may be a military serial number what they used pre 1960's. Good luck finding an owner!

Congrats on the great finds!

Great finds, That bracelet might very well be a military service number as ChicagoRon says.Mine was 7 digits in 68.
