My largest detecting silver find so far. 56 grams of Sterling.

Went on a hunt with some friends on the visit from Toronto. Due to a lack of time we hit a local park (not my usual hunting grounds as I never hunt in public parks). Still managed some decent finds. One find worth mentioning is a very cool Sterling silver cup engraved "Bobby" May 8 1924 Made by Watrous Co. from Wallingford Connecticut. Was very deep under some thick roots, but I managed to get it out without major damage. Really happy with this unusual find. My biggest silver object so far, not the oldest (only 93 years old) but a nice 56 grams of Sterling. The personalized engraving makes it even more special.

Thanks for the comments.

....That seems like it would be hard to lose...

Perhaps the beverage that was drank from it doomed it to being lost...

Awesome find!

I didn't read all the comments so it may have been said, but I'd be drinking out of that cup for sure. Very cool find!

Thank you.
