5 pounds of melted silver :-D

[TheCoolest]

Best find so far, First post. I Found a 5lb melt of silver searching my own yard where I've been finding tons of evidence of a house fire...um it paid off. Found this.



Took it to a jewellers today and he tested it and said it was silver but probly had a little something else in it too.It Looks like it was melted in a pan or maybe even a change dish. Heres a pic of the bottom. The blue color is just reflection from the window.



Ok well, thought I would share. You won't find anything unless you are looking. ;-)

Oh it bounced around the 90's on the At Pro, mostly 92

I can't believe you missed that with the Bounty Hunter. How deep was it? Surprized you did not get an overload signal. Great find.

Yeah the bounty hunter probably would have got it to. I just hadn't hit that spot yet. It a 5 acre piece of land I've been searching. It was about 4 inches deep. It appears the house burnt down and then was bulldozed and spread over the property.

Paid for your detector twice in a single find!

That's why I live this hobby!

Now that's a chunk of silver...

 

[streakert]

looks like someone used a friing pan to cast,

Personally, if I had that, and didn't need to sell it, I would melt it down and make something in a mold from it. A Pistol-Grip shifter for a 1970 Lime Light Hemi Cuda for instance...

I'm hoping for your sake that it was intentional... which means there could be more! If there is, please post pictures. Perhaps the gold bar will be next.

Congrats on a unique find.

Great find.... I'd be tearing that area UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! But the bulldozer probably spread items all over. Get your gridding down pat. Hope ya find something else of value but that's going to be hard to beat.

odd to say the least

 

[liftloop]

better get your detector tested should read a full bar or a 100 percent
a big piece of copper will peg all the way
that silver should of did the same thing

Hmm. I found a copper pipe a and a 1950's hand held fish scale just a few feet away and they both pegged it out. I thought maybe because the impurities on the outside. It does read 99 just not every pass..97,95 92.94 all in there.
