I'm back with some recent finds. Monday I swung the NEL Thunder Coil over my yard for the first time and found a 1918 Merc partially masked by a small nail. Jumpy from 67 thru 84 VDI on one angle. Otherwise not much of a signal.

Yesterday I scored 2 new permissions across the street from my house. Late 1800s built homes. A lot of junk and clad. The exception was this partial piece of gas lamp lighter, a few wheaties, and 1896 Indian that is green and cruddy.

Today I knew I had to find silver somehow at the same permission. While working the back yard I unearthed a Sterling Thimble, Silverware, mystery find, and an old button.

that's a bunch of great digs, nice!
 

The thimble and butter knife are beauties. Good work.

Keep swingin.
 

That thimble really is a beauty! Congrats on the goodies.
 

Wow you dug some beautiful silver. Congratulations.
 

Killer silver my man. That thimble is really sweet. I have yet to find a silver one. Yours is intact and intricate, wow.

I can't tell the size of the third silver item, but it might be a piece of a chatelaine. The chains and multiple attachment points make me think this.

Nice finds, congratulations! :occasion14:
 

You got some killer silver relics there!
 

Your "old button" may need a better picture and scrutiny...Navy maybe?
 

Very nice thimble and knife! GRATS! In a spot like that, don't forget all the mid tones.
 

Nice silver. I really like that thimble!
 

Great finds
Happy Treasure Hunting
