That sure is a nice looking silver thimble! I like the relics too.

Love the silver thimble! Are those M.T. initials I see inscribed on it? The little French buckle is also nice. Is that a stirrup? I've never found one, but it's on my "extensive" bucket list! LOL! Congrats on your great finds and happy digging, Dave.

Silver thimbles are super rare, Roger! Is that a CT copper? Congrats!

That thimble is a beauty Rebel! I am still waiting to put my coil over a silver one. I agree with Dan, a tumbler will likely reveal enough detail. If you don't have a tumbler get one of those soft sponge-like sanding blocks from Home Depot. I use the 3M 180 fine block. Just rub the coin back and forth and around for 20 to 30 seconds or so. Repeat as needed. It really just burnishes the coin so that any remaining features will be highlighted. I'd say about 40% of my wiped or totally fried coppers gave up an ID doing that. Some are just beyond hope though.
