Lady Luck deals us some nice finds, 1754 KG, Merc's, SLQ, IH's. silver thimble

Vino (George) and I talked last night, decided to run with old lady luck and knock on some doors. We ended up with a great permission and some good finds. Very long day for me, left the house at 5:50 am got home about 4:30 pm
I found a Standing Liberty Quarter, a 1944 Merc, a silver tie clip marked "fine sterling 925" George will have to tell you if there is a makers mark on it. He has it to put in a display case to donate back to the owner along with some stuff he found. I also found a 1896 Indian Head Cent and three wheats, 1934, 1930 and I believe a 1910

George found a 1754 King George, couple Mercs, couple Indian Head Cents, and a cool silver thimble with nice design on it, he said the makers mark on the thimble is from Simms Bros Inc., they started in 1839. He also found a dog license, couple really old buttons, one a blow hole, another is pewder, very nice.

The spoon and to the right are my finds



Enjoy the pix

Well........You are the guy that told me I would not find any coins at my 1600s site lol. "Those settlers didn't have any coins. They were dirt poor. And what the hell would they need money for anyway. They traded for everything." Lol. But no I would never ever ever question you :-)

I bet you were REALLY HAPPY i was wrong?

Ha ha yes my good friend. I was VERY HAPPY that you were wrong and that one poor settler had some pocket change. But I can't imagine you could be wrong twice. So obviously a beautiful pewter button. I think I'm gonna have to go back to tree coin site Sunday. I got a feeling bud :-)

George sent me pix of my tie clasp, closeups of the makers marks. There also was an initial scratched in, we'll have to find out from the owner if they are his relatives. Here are the pix and the link to the makers mark. Unger Bros.

That would be awesome to make a personal connection to that piece. In my opinion that is the absolute best outcome in detecting. Finding a relic that was once held by an ancestor to the property owner. That stuff is priceless and rarely happens. When it does you can feel damn good about that accomplishment
