New spot delivers Silver... Silver... Silver...!

[Texas Yankee]

Hello tnetr's, posting a little late but hope you guys enjoy the pics... last week while driving home from my daughters softball game, I caught a glimpse of a mound of dirt with tons of broken glass. This time I didn't get a chance to stop by and check it out but decided to leave it for another day. Well, Monday came around and I decided it was time to do little recon and to my amazement It turned out to be an old dumpsite. It appeared to be just like my favorite honey hole. I could see tons of broken glass, purple glass, medicine bottles, soda bottles from the 20's, 30's and 40's...

It didn't take long... I immediately began to get a lot of high tones and between the aluminum caps, old copper lipsticks, vintage toothpaste tubes, powder cases and your pesky loop rings I dug up an army US pin possibly WWII. After that it just kept coming... buckles, vintage vanity powder cases, a decretive brass button, marbles, a 1947 Mexican centavo, a 1945 Mexicano cinco centavo, and finally while walking back to the car my last hit, high tone screaming at me and what turned out to be a vintage Social Security ACT brass card with the name Ysabel A. Olibas, and yes, thats exactly the way the last name is spelled. (no research yet). I was excited to find a virgin spot and a new honey hole. I just had to let my buddy car91rs know about this new place.




We decided to hit the spot yesterday and it was like we already knew which spots to hit. car91rs immediately headed to the opposite side of where I was and as always we don't say a word until one of us finds silver or a dated relic.

1st signal, dateless merc dime... I yell out to car91rs "Silver baby, got a merc!" he looks at me and continues to scan the ground.
2nd signal, looks like a blank name plate stamped Sterling Mexico on the back. "Silver again!" no answer from car91rs just a long stare... my bad, lol.
3rd signal, dateless merc dime... 4th signal a crusty melted siver half dollar coin too far gone to get a date but I can see ridges. I also can barley make out the words Half... 5th signal, 1848 1948 Fort Bliss Centennial token.

By this time I'm dehydrated and I see car91rs walking towards me with a bottle of cold water. Wouldn't you know it, just as he's walking towards me he finds a silver ring just behind me about a 2 feet from where I was standing. Now he's all excited, lol.

I had to find silver or a ring... Car91rs was 2 rings up on me. It didn't take long before I got a sweet tone and fished out a 1945 S mercy dime in great condition, "Got another mercy!" car91rs responds "I was just there"

Today
Still having the itch, I decided to go back and see if I could find a ring, but instead fish out a 1950 quarter, SILVER BABAY! By the time i was finished I had found a 1920's Chicago Surface Lines conductors railway uniform button, a few wheats, 1938 Mexican centavo, a Hollywood Pin-Ups clothes line clip and a 1950 Mexican 25 centavo silver coin (30%). Love this place!

enjoy the pics

Congrats you sure find a lot of kewl stuff. I dont have the patience to dig in dirt I prefer local lakes as the sand doesnt take as much effort, but clad and an occassional item of jewery aren,t as kewl as your finds. I wish you continued success!
