    June 5th finds from a small park I found me an old silver thimble

    I got to the park early, it rained all day yesterday and it was sopping wet and barely 50 degrees but the silver thimble was worth some cold wet feet. It's the second Sheffield thimble that I've found, the first one I found was more of a plain Jane compared to this one. This park is mostly...

    Yesterday I went to the junior high that I went to in hopes of finding some goodies, I got a good clad haul and by the time I found the silver GW I was getting wore out and ready to take off. Getting older has it's downfalls in the stamina department. Today I decided to take a trip back to...

    SILVER GOLD & DIAMONDS all in one nice neat package

    I went to the same park where I found the neat cap gun recently and found a silver rosie, a silver/gold & diamond ring and 4 cents today. The ring gave me too high of a reading for gold and not high enough for silver, almost like a zinc and I'm really glad I dug it cause it was one of them...

    I can scratch another one off my bucket list today

    I found my first seated quarter, it's a smoothy but I'll take it, especially since I've never found one before today. I was hunting a woods spot where I found my first silver of the year last year. I found the ring before I did the quarter, most of the other coins were from a couple spills, I...

    May 6th hunt in the woods, I got me some nice old silver today

For something that's been in the ground a long time I'm happy with...
