Great finds George, the thimble is so beautiful, when I showed my GF she thought the same. I didn't know you found the other coins. It's nice you live close by to these spots where you can hunt after work like you do. So cool that you keep finding all that great stuff. Good work Vino!

Very nice thimble, I've only found one sterling, newer ones are usually aluminum, and flat. The sterlings are very collectible, so congrats!

Again nice find on the silver thimble.

Have found many base metal ones, but not a silver ...yet.

And that is a nice one.

Nice finds on the silver coins and ring. Love the silver thimble. Great design and another item on my wish list.

Great save !!
If it's English, it should have additional markings: Lion, wheat, anchor, etc.
Please, show us a pic or describe if one or more additional markings are found.

Beautiful silver thimble! Very difficult to dig them in that condition. I dug one a couple weeks ago (not as detailed as yours) and it was smashed flat.

That appears to be a great spot! A silver thimble is still on my list.

Silver/sterling thimbles are hugely collectible. Some date back over 500 years and further (European).



A RARE ancient silver thimble has been discovered in the Ribble Valley.
The piece of treasure was unearthed in June by 33-year-old Dan Wrathall, and is thought to date back to around 1577.
Yesterday at a Treasure Trove inquest Mr Wrathall, who works as a quality controller at Hanson Cement, told how he was metal-detecting on his father John Wrathall’s farm in West Bradford when he found the thimble.
It is described as a ‘post-medieval elongated silver thimble’ and is thought to date back to between 1520 and 1620, but a very similar item in the Metropolitan Museum of Art is thought to have been made in 1577.
