Biggest chunk of Silver EVER ! I got on a new piece of dirt, had a lot of modern trash, but also a little old stuff in between, musket balls, old buttons, and 2 fairly nice conditioned coppers. Was getting tired of all the aluminum can slaw after about 4 hours, and started towards the wheel got one last high tone, and to my very big surprise was this braclet, it had "the look" and was pretty heavy, but was still a little shocked to see the .925. The lot, minus a pouch full of real junk.  Silver in the hole.  The coppers 1838 ONE STIVER, only the second one of these I found, and is much better than the first, and a 1832 NS 1/2 penny.  On the scale.  Surprised also that it is not damaged, even the very sturdy clasp is working perfectly, must have caught the little lock on something ? Sorry for the looser, happy for me.  And if anyone interested here is the very short video. |

Thanks Les, Retriever, and CCD, you'll probably like some of my videos as they are always short, to the point, and many of the finds are live digs, I have a short attention span, and don't like videos with long intros, or linger too long on one find.
I was lucky to capture at least two spanish 2 reales, and my oldest french (1710) in actual live digs.

Retriver, my year was also too "slim" but that mostly was my own fault, for not getting out so much. Better luck Next year, remember you get out of this hobby what you put in....This year I admit to being a bit "slack" and it shows.

Good finds, found with lots of patience for sure. Also looks like you found a bale seal with berlin on it; or am I wrong?? Anyway keep digging till the white stuff comes along.
Take care

Take care Hey Dave long time no hear. Yes a bale seal, I've about a dozen of the same one, finally got a different one a little while ago K.S. on it. The "white stuff" don't bother me, as long as the ground isn't frozen. In fact I kind of like the snow as it lets you know exactly where you've been. On one of my early videos I call it grid tape. |
