A Very Nice Silver Pocket Spill

[Silvermonkey]

I decided to hunt around the edges of defunct Boy Scout camp this morning. This particular site has produced very well in the past, but had petered out over time. Today I decided to spend my time focusing on the perimeter areas with the hope that there were some targets I missed. It was very slow going, but I was finding some wheaties so that gave me hope there might be some silver left to find. My efforts were rewarded with a pocket spill featuring a couple of wheaties, a 1935-D Merc, a 1934 Washington, and a 1917 Walking Liberty half dollar.

A short time later I also managed a 1942-D Merc and a scout pin. All together, it made for an excellent day!

On a separate hunt earlier in the week I was lucky enough to unearth a pretty gold ring. It's marked "10k", and weighs in at 8.3 grams. Given the other items found in this same area, I'm guessing the ring dates to the early 1900's

Thanks for taking a look. Happy Spring to All!

You found some neat stuff. I’d guess the BSA pin from the mid 1940s

GREAT FINDS !!!! Thanks for sharing with us

Sometimes you need to think outside the box. Congratulations.

 

[pepperj]

You certainly had a really good day out hunting.
The site treated you well, and congratulations on the silver spill.
The ring might be a tad older also, a real sweet recovery.

I’d guess those 3 silvers were a 50s era spill. My dad started me coin collecting around 1960. Those early walker’s and early quarters were already pretty much gone from circulation by then.

Very nice!

 

[lenmac65]

Nice spill. You certainly lived up to your moniker with this post. I especially like that half; great old date. That ring is a big bonus; such a personal and elegant piece. Congrats!

I like your thinking. I always find myself heading in the exact same patterns at all of my detecting spots. My new theory is do the opposite of what you thinking. Great finds and that one dig would make my year.

Love the old silver, and the ring! Great finds! Congratulations! Thank you for sharing and posting.
