A 1950's MOTEL IS WORTH LOOKING INTO

Staying with a friend who is renting an apartment in Sweden Valley, Pennsylvania. . The apartment he is in is an add on to what was once an 8 unit Motel. All of the units have been converted to one bedroom apartments. The grounds still have a fifties style swing, BBQ grill, and a picnic table with some huge old trees. I was looking at properties all day. So about an hour before sunset, I broke out the DEUS and decided to give it a quick going over. Well, I dug a few clad coins. They were all about 5 inches deep. I also dug,, what I believe is a vintage child's skull ring.
Coming out of the ground, all caked with mud, I thought for a minute,, it might be Silver.
Well it's aluminum. Oh well,, it was still nice to swing the coil.

Looks very promising. If there is silver there I know you will sniff it out! Congrats on the digs.

I have to agree, if there's anything good there you'll find it. I know the feeling when you first saw that skull ring, I found one something like yours and thought I had silver. Mine was a Hong Kong special. Lol
