and my first indian! an 1898! what it was doing at a 1940s house ill never know. the scan kinda sucks but its the best i can do right now. my brother also got a 41 merc (his first). we also both found old matchbox cars from the 40s era up to about the 70s. four cars in all. it was a fun hunt. we are going to go back some other time and dig some of the iffy targets. i know there is more silver there. well anyway, thanks for looking!

Way to go! Congrats on that first indian.

Maybe there was an older house there before that one?
 

Nice finds. Great job. Some may not be silver but its still treasure in my eyes. Good luck hunting-RH

yeah dekalb, on this one, if you open the locket it is marked on the left half. too bad its only gold filled and not solid. hopefully yours is solid.
 

Good stuff, hollowpointred. Ah, the charm bracelet belongs to Carol, I believe.

Hey Hollowpointed you have been watching the way Jeff of Pa post, luring us in, giving us a little at a time and then bam the big one. ;D :D. Glad you found an Indian and the locket is very nice also. HH
