Afternoon hunt today at a old school annex and small park. Got silver, but not the silver I was looking for....but detectorists can't be choosy eh? :tongue3:

The loot! 36 pennies, 2 quarters, 1 dime and 2 nickels. And assorted items, rose plant tag, button off a coat, tiny aluminum disc, and tiny aluminum wire(6" deep, AT-Pro is good, no matter what people say.)

Oldest Penny. Young Elizabeth penny and I can barely see 196? on the back, since it's covered in GUM. Little soak in WD-40 will clear that right up.

Best of the lot! .925 Native silver and Turquoise lighter cover. Found buried under a tree near back fence of the school annex. I bet some kid borrowed his parents lighter to sneak it to school, then had to bury it to keep it hidden....and then forgot where he buried it. The lighter top was quite rusted, it's been there awhile.

Has to be the most ornate lighter case I've ever seen. What is native silver? Crafted by natives? Haida tribe, maybe?
 

love that lighter cover - sic find - really nice find to help you get over the gold.
 

Nah, not Haida... looks like Bic tribe to me :laughing7:

Seriously though, VERY nice find.
 

That is really cool! I would want to keep that thing for myself if i found it!!!
 

Update on the lighter case. It was made in Bali and the stone is lapis lazuli.
 

What a beautiful lighter cover. Makes me want to break out a Maduro!!!
 

amazing silver find! man, i love that.
 

Nice!!! I have found lighter cases before, but not like that, now I have something to aim for! What a great find!


Keep it up!!! MJ
