Found my first silver: a Holland's Western jewerly pin

I found my first piece of silver at town square yesterday. It is a sterling silver Western jewelry pin. It was made by Holland's of San Angelo, Texas.
I thought it was a pull tab when it came out of the dirt. This is what it looks like cleaned up. The little spur spins.

id take that piece of silver over a silver coin, anyday!!

I guess depending on the type of coin, but maaaaaan that's cool!

Thanks. What is kinda of funny is I found it in El Paso. A small community in the central part of Arkansas. A man living near the court square park said, his brother-in-law had found everything around there. I have not found a silver coin, but I've only been metal detecting for a year. I like to coin hunt.

That's a nice sized hunk o' silver. Looks like it was just dropped.

Congrats on your first.

Outstanding silver find, congrats. No, the "brother in law" did not find it all. No one ever does, so keep happily hunting! Sub

Congrats on your first piece of silver, and a nice one, if you ask me.

Don't fret about that other guy finding all of the silver in town. I was told the same thing when I started... it took several months for me to find the first silver coin, but since then, I have found 80 of them in 14 months. It aint easy, but they are out there. Keep at it! GL&HH.

I found out from the Holland's jewelry store that the pin is sterling silver and the saddle is 14k gold.
