    The design on the ring appears to be drawn on the blueprint/map as well. I would have liked to see him show up on Pawn Stars with this. Perhaps the hand is really this:

    This is the second time I saw this story posted on a forum today, last was on a metal detecting forum a couple hours ago.

    I'm guessing they are just props for a play or something.

    Will any of the TPG grade the hand?

    A body bag labeled "Improperly Cleaned" is my guess.

    The coins seem Spanish 17th century. One is a 8 maravedis.

    It's actually a 75% clip of an entire arm. Fortunately, the digits are still visible, which is not always the case with clips.
