1800s silver and old gold!

[BTV Digger]

Hi all,

Hit a new permission and an old permission yesterday and found a few goodies. Best finds were an 1880 Canadian 5 center and what I believe is my first gold nugget or tooth. Passes the white vinegar and magnet test and rings a 55 VDI on the AT-Pro, but waiting for my gold kit to arrive to be positive. Heavy for its small size and looks like a tooth. Also pulled the standard buttons, musket balls and a few other doo-dads including a nice colonial era cuff link. The 5 center is an obverse #2 variety, so worth a few bucks - not that I sell anything. Thanks for looking and HH!

Interesting gold peice. Not sure if it would be a tooth because. Don’t see how it could attach to anything. Then again I’m not a dentist. If it is it’s old for sure

Great finds digger!

Do you know any history on the property? Perhaps someone kept it as a pocket token or he had one large herd to merit a four digit number.

Best wishes!
