My first thimble, silver!!

[tymber79]

Went back to an 1864 mansion home today. Was able to score my first thimble, says silver inside. With initials mkd. Anyone know much about age?
Also found the three mercs there, and later found 3 more at different field. Six makes most in one day for me.

Beautiful thimble. My first thimble was silver. Have found a few junk and two colonial thimbles too. Yours is awesome.

It is in just beautiful condition. I have found a couple, including a silver one, but they were all mashed in at least one side.
