Default First Jewlery

Hey all, getting better and the ground is thawing out!

Among a lot of different things this afternoon, here are the highlights.

1 RR spike. Closest RR is a ways away.

And my first jewelry find, just a little costume bracelet, but gotta start somewhere.
I’m pretty sure I cut it in half wit my trusty shovel.

$0.21 in clad - 11 pennies and a dime.

You are doing very well! Tough luck with cutting the necklace in half. Good hunt, Beale.

We used to have a RR behind our house growing up & we used to play with spikes like those, good find, too bad about the bracelet, but still a find is a find.
