Got out for a few with the dog. Colder here today. Sure is nice to swing the coil. I go went back to an old spot and there is an 1893 indian on the ground. 1.3 ounces of coin silver Willie left me. I love finding silver!!! The tin is the first I've found with something inside. I found it where there was an old bandstand. Anyone know if its music related? The clasp on the piece looks newer than the TOC era finds I like to get. I love old iron. Hope you find something good!! 0517171305_HDR-1.jpg

Nothing like the first view of something silver coming out of the dirt. That one would have been a thrill. Congrats!

Thanks, I assumed it was plated or alluminum until I saw the mark. It will be hard to find something that weighs more. You never know. 14950579959221526194184.jpg
I was looking at this a little closer, it was found nearby. Moon or sun dial? Or clock, I can't figure it out. It would have a hole for a dial.

Your item in the tin may be a Bakelite, art-deco era, page holder or hair clip. Nice silver score too! Sub 8-)
