silver

how old is this silver spoon? It's my 4th one now from this hole they all match... And is this champion sparkplug made in Canada early 1900s? Also was surprised the short baby food size jar was "Ball" brand that's first one of those. The curvy one with metal lid I've found many times must be a...

Drove my son to Montgomery, Alabama to hang out with a friend. After dropping him off, I got to explore some thrift and antique stores. My best pick up by far (and one of the best of the year) was this 800 German silver gravy bowl. Priced at $18.00, it weighs in at 535 grams. It looks like the...

Something feels wrong about posting a third Spanish real in a month time frame when I've never found one before this year. haha I found my first ever, an 1818 2 Reales, exactly one month ago. Then on November 10th I found a 1776 one. And two days ago, I found this stunning 1747 2 Reales!!! All...

This may be difficult to believe, but my cofounder and I have found a way around the UNESCO accords and have built strong 'top down' relationships with multiple countries in the Caribbean and Latin America. We are creating a TV show about real life treasure hunting. We've been working on this...

This weekend I found one of my bucket list items: a Spanish silver coin. It is a 2 Real coin with a hole punched through it. Still in decent enough shape to identify, even though much is rubbed off, including the date. I was able to make out "Ferdin VII" which stands for Ferdinand the 7th who...

I had Metal Detected this location 6 times and have found 313 Quarters, 40 Dimes, and 56 Pennies, but in my last trip I finally found a pre-1965 Silver Quarter at a Former Elementary School (est. pre-1940s) & Little League Field.

Heavy side story, I’ve been missing my absolute best friend of a cat since Monday night, been looking everywhere for him. Decided to swing around in some woods by my house to stave off the depression. I live near an 18 century pub and church, just off of a road that’s been actively in use since...

Wow! I am finally cool, been waiting since high school!

I recently ordered $500 in shipwreck silver coins from the famous SS Central America and I wanted to share their history with everyone. These 1853 and 1855 Chilean 50 Centavos are pretty unusual due to the fact historians and marine archaeologists were able to piece together clues to find the...

I found this ring in a park in Québec, can someone help me to identify the stone and probably the age of the ring.

Found a sterling German spoon at the thrift store. Black toonie and two silver coins from my job at the Credit Union as well as Some old bills. (*bills not shown, five 1950s bills) Silver dime from the Coinstar. This Mexican spoon is from awhile back. Can anybody confirm its sterling? Looks...

I found my grandma's Silver Spoon and Forks. Can someone please tell me how much its worth

Found this silver spoon that I almost passed up...on second thought decided to look up what 835 means...just in case. (I only knew the 925 mark). Learned something new today!! Nice.

:hello: Hi there I want to buy this cigarette case from a local dealer, but I don't know anything about it - he says is silver but I have my doubts ,it could be alloy or any plated. Also, anyone know what kind of year this might be and what technique used to make this ... looks like a press ...

I still can't believe I dug this. It's what I believe is a milled bust pillar type, 2 reales. Weighs 5.53g and measures 26.5mm/1.04" diameter. If I'm wrong please correct me. I'm looking to narrow time the time period and more details about the piece. I can't make out the more worn side to...

Howdy all, I'm a creative producer. A few years ago I was here because one of my Youtube clients was in need of something new - and so I set to work building big ideation for him. It ended up evolving into something much bigger than a Youtube video however and instead of working with a Youtuber...

Hey all. I'm new here! Firstly, I found this on a remote beach on a perimeter island (loc: gulf of mex). It looks like it's been tumbled pretty good for a long time; some pitting as well. I can tell it's definitely a cast. At first I thought it was a crucifix, or maybe a weird demented ash tray...

Went to a local freshwater beach/boat launch/hangout on this dreary day up here in Maine. Never detected it before, it just kind of popped into my head this afternoon. I figured there wouldn't be as many people there when the sun wasn't shining. I was right, just a couple fisherman. This place...

Didn't have much time today after work. So i decided to just drive to a few cellar holes i have marked in Gaia as potential sites. Just to see how i would access them or who i would have to ask for permission. I drove down a road that's 10 minutes away from where i live, that i have apparently...

This is a Spanish 8 Reale I found while mudlarking. It was minted in New Guatamala in 1808 and bears the bust of Charles IV.

So a while back I dug up a 1/4 reale. A few days ago I managed to dig up another object of greater size and weight. A few feet away I dug up another object that looked almost like a metal stamp. The next day I began cleaning the pieces and realized the stamp contained designs of waves and...

Found this Spanish pillar dollar today in the ocean. (Edit: I initially thought it to be too light to be genuine, weighing in at only 16.5 grams, but as many T-net users have pointed out, being exposed to salt water for 200+ years corrodes silver, and I can confirm the coin is much thinner than...

Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Seems to be copper/silver or brass/silver. On the front side a lot of engraving work and back side has some engraved Arabic writing. Just curious what i could maybe find out. Thanks Travis

All from this evening. $1.52 clad coins, small sterling silver ring, big 14k gold ring In situ: 9.8 grams

1964 silver dime found in the coinstar on 6/16/2023

First hunt this year!! Haven't been detecting for a long time. So pumped that my first night out was a success!! Any guess on age for this vintage looking silver ring? And what about this button? Please comment if you have info. Thanks!

Coinstar find May 25th 2023.

Any info on this quarter would be awesome. I just found it tonight just after dark. It was my first find with the Legend. I guess I'm looking if anyone can tell if it is wide or a narrow zero in the date. Also what's Up with The G. Last any thoughts on the grade. Looks rather nice to me.

Found my first MSD. Was on the beach in an area known historically for fishing docks and likely a Chinese shrimp camp. My guess it was dropped from the docks into the sand or water. Carson City mint mark. What should I do with it? What do you think it's worth in this grade?

Found these three coins in the return slot of my local grocery store's Coinstar. April 7th 2023.

Hello folks! Was super happy with this 50 cent sterling ww2 pin I found at the thrift store today. I looked on ebay, and it's going for around 40-60 dollars. Not sure if I could get that for it. But still cool. Need some advice about this possible sterling spoon. There is markings on the back...

Found at my local grocery store coinstar.

Found this silver quarter this morning in the return slot of my local grocery store coinstar. It more than covered the cost of the banana and bagel I purchased for breakfast.

Does anyone recognize this silver maker’s mark?

Found these today, anyone have information on the silver cuff button? Can’t seem to find the maker mark Mystery solved! The button is from the Kingdom of Sardinia, 800/1000 Silver used from 1824-1872

Anyone ever hear a story of native Americans hiding silver from the white man never to find in cass township schuylkill county pennsylvania? I heard a story like this once I didn't know if it was about somewhere else and someone got it wrong but hey let me know please ! Much appreciated guys...

Found These Two Artifacts In Oregon, On Some Farmland Dating Back To The 1800's. I Believe It To Be A Buckle, And A Button But Not Sure. Can Anyone Help Identify Them Please? Front side of buckle. The buckle is 2 inches in length and 1 inch 5/8 in width. When My Nokta Makro Simplex+ detects...

Hello! Been AGES since I've posted. Scored 25 cent silver spoon at a thrift store. Possibly 2 silver ones. Can anyone help me identify the small Dutch one? Is it silver or not? Has markings but not sure. I know the other is (even though it looks goldish for some reason) because it says Sterling...
