Long time no post, and a couple of heavy silver finds.

[Stormtrooper154]

Hello everyone!!

I have been working my butt of the last month and havent had a lot of time to post on the forum. However, I read over some of the stuff when I get home before bed. I havent been out detecting in over a month now, so I am having some withdrawls LOL

Well, We had some unclaimed property at work thats time was up for storage. My boss told me to go through it and take whatever I wanted before he took it down and donated it to Goodwill. So I was going through a few of the bags collecting pocket change for my jar when I saw a little bit of silver looking back at me.

Well, Actually....It's 2lbs 12oz of Silver!! Two silver plates, one is a 25th anniversry plate and the other is a 1956 Horse show award from the Oregon State Fair. The weight converts to a little over 40 troy ounces which at todays silver market price would be $512 x .925(sterling) = $473.60

Didn't you find a frying pan last year?

Nice to see you posting!

Congrats on the silver!

Stormtrooper, welcome back!

Those are some "heavy-duty" finds you've got there If those were buried underground, they probably would have fried the circuits on the detector.

As in golf, "It's not how, but how many"

Good to see you back!

[waseeker]

Welcome back. I second the remarks about the Horse plate. It probably has some value above melt

 

[oddcoins]

Yo dude! It's good to see that you're still among the living! NICE SCORE on the silver!!!!! That's COOL!!!

I recently scored some sterling that was gonna be taken to goodwill!!! A few pieces of flatware marked "sterling" ~ I salvaged a little over 400 grams ~ scored $100.00!!! SWEET!!!!

I've been wondering where you've been. I was gona say you got a mean old boss there until you showed us the plates he let you have. Nice guy! Hope you get back out into the field soon. HH Storm.
