Last Known Bird Cover - Blank Silver...

[CRUSADER]

We just spent 3 hours on the last known spot that is detectable. It was diggable with no grass & weeds & its been so dry very little maise growth has happened.
We had covered this area once before, so we hit it at a 90 degree angle, as this farmer does no ploughing.
I was lucky to get a blank silver sixpence/hammered - no sure which?
Cru'dad got the best find of a 1924 National Union for Racing Pigeon (NURP) Ring. I think its our earliest, had it been WWI period it would be even more collectable, as most were used in the Trenches for messages.
Unless it rains we are out of options.

Very nice Crusader! How rare is it for you and Cru'Dad to unearth a completely blank silver?

NURP ring is super cool Cru'...a 1917 carrier pigeon ring would have been an amazing find...

On the silver blanks...do you do anything with those...sell at melt value?

Love the recoveries!

Completely blank happens from time to time but normally you can see a tiny bit of detail.

I imagine you'll be needing bigger drawers.
