Backyard Treasures

[proteus922]

I've only had my metal detector for a few months and have only used it about 6 times. Tonight I went into my backyard (109 year old farmhouse) and found this bracelet. It is not silver but looks like it is either copper or gold plated. Last week, my son and I found these coins in our front yard--one Indian Head and one V-nickel. I also found this round metal ball that is sort of green. I wonder if it's a ball bearing. I also found this button in my backyard. This sure is fun! Any comments would be appreciated.

Fantastic find on the bracelet and the coins! I believe that the dark metal ball is a marble...Someone correct me if I am mistaken.

Wow ! That button rocks - The bracelet sure looks better than copper - but I guess it could be a plate job . It

appears to be every bit of a hundred years old . Great finds ! Argentium.

Welcome to the forum! You made some great finds already. The bracelet does look silver and probably would not have held up so well if it were copper. Did you check the inside for a hallmark or stamp? It has an early 1900s look to it. The button looks late 1800s and the coin V nickle is nice. You have a lot of potential finds on your own land. There should be old out house holes close to the house, they are worth digging out, detecting and sifting the dirt can yield some awesome finds and I doubt it is smelly by now, LOL. Also the path directly to the outhouse would be a good place as many emergency toilet trips would have had suspenders flying and pockets flapping during the race to the outhouse. Check the sunny side of the house where a clothes line would have been or maybe still is, LOL! Where did they get water 109 years ago, worth checking/detecting the water source of the old days. Let us know how you do and some site pictures would be great. HH, Mike
