Thimble looks silver, is it? I've often thought about hunting old orchards....

i'm confident it is aluminum. it took some work to remove enough dirt to read it.
I think if silver it would have Rubbed off without water.

Apple orchards may be worthwhile.
years ago I used to help out at the local Orchard Picking Apples in the fall.
one of the pickers told me he lost a Watch while picking.
the Orchard owner would have nothing of detecting.
I guess fear of damage to roots :dontknow:

Anyway the Orchard is Long gone

and would probably hold Many Watches, Bracelets & Even Rings,
as the early Morning Dew in the fall made hands very Slimy
picking apples. & whole Families used to show up To pick apples for the Orchard
at $5.00 a crate.

Congratz on what looks to have been a fun hunt! I'm still looking for my first thimble. I can't wait to see one in the hole!

I bet there is deep treasure there. I imagine that there was some dirt moved around when the trees were removed. I always enjoy your posts and the pics to include the history of the location and some finds. I found one of the thimbles here in Ohio, we are only 50 minutes SW of Cleveland.

Enjoy the weather while it lasts.

Glad you got out. Being a peach tree grove I would have figured more people would have dropped stuff eating peaches in the shade. Seeing snow is a scary thing but hopefully we'll have a more mild winter up here.

Cheers

Nice job. I bet there was some gambling going in those orchards, like coin flipping. I have seen care takers of Christmas tree fields doing that.
