Had A Great Day....1872 Seated Dime , 1895 Indian , Some Old Dentistry ..

[JimInPhilly]

Got out to one of my old hunting spots that always seems to give up some nice coins and relics , no matter how many times I hunt here I still find stuff. Today I went over a patch of ground that was hunted before , so I turned the sens. all the way up , and disc. all the way down... and let my Quattro rip and listened for a good signal to bleed through all the rough signals.
It was slow at first but then some old china and the 1895 Indian Head popped up and it gave me a little interest to slow down even more. Then found a purse clasp in the shape of a horseshoe , then a silver thimble and an old picture frame.

The thing that I really find interesting is the old bridge with the tooth still attached ! AWesome , I havent seen one like this...I think it is made of pewter, it didnt quite I.D. as silver conductivity on my screen.(rung up at 30).... The tooth is very small.

I didnt want to go home without a silver coin so it took me another hour to find the 1872 Seated Dime.

HH!

I searched my old dental history books and current dental books, and can't find anything in the past that was made out of pewter. I suggest taking a closer look at it, because sometimes precious metals were used in metal partials in the past more often.

Way COOL finds Jim

Pays to slow it down and tune in to those deeper blips and beeps !! Amazing what even experts such as yourself can miss first few times !

I firmly believe in returning to old sites that produced ...just freezing and thawing can make all the difference and revel stuff

The dental item is really a different kinda find....poor soul that lost it musta been pretty upset ! I'd take it to a dentist ...maybe get a expert oppinion on how old it is !!

Congrats on some killler finds

Maybe an alloy was added to silver , like tin or antimony , to soften it up...Thanks Doc.
