Indian Steve and I went to a local park this morning, our first time there. Really didn't find much - I dug 6 zincolns, a nickel and a dime for 21 cents.
So, then we headed down the back roads and found a mid 1800's house. We stopped there, Steve knocked on the door, and we were granted permission to dig there.
About 2 hours there, and I found my first ever silver thimble - a HUGE bucket list item for me. It's bent up but I think I'll leave it as is:
I haven't found any markings on it, but tested with both the 18k and the Silver acid test - positive both tests.
I also dug a 1943-P war nickel....
A very old padlock - need to do electrolysis:
A clump of rust pocket knife - not pictured.
And of course another 18 cents in clad.
A memorable day today.
