It was great to finally get out today to move a little dirt. I went to the old farm and dug up a lot of nails and stuff. I did finally get my first silver thimble:happydance01:.

Nice find, congrats! :thumbsup02:
Nice job on the thimble. Surprised none ever settle under my coil. I do believe spring might finally be coming. Congrats. WD
Thanks everyone, I was able to straighten it out and cleaned it. I found the makers mark MKD sterling on the inside. Found the exact same one on ebay for 39.95.
Beautiful thimble! Love those personal items.
And it is in descent shape too! congrats on a great find
That is an awesome find! I've been detecting for 40+ years and I still haven't found a silver thimble. :crying01:
I'm glad you got it straightened out. It is a wonderful piece of history!
:congrats:

Hey Robbie, I think I see an old saddle bag adornment in the first pic between the thimble and the D buckle. Congrats on the bucketlister!
Congrats on the thimble. I've yet to find one of any type metal. Nice looking flat buttons too!
