So I have been having a huge dryspell. Been out a few times here and there and found some wheat, havent really cleaned them and organized them. I was attending a kid's birthday party where the Dad was a coin collector. We got to talking and I said that I have a unique way of getting my coins and took him out to my car, he immediatly wanted a demonstration. His house was built in 1924 and I said,"Here lets try it near your porch." I started out with a zincoln, 2 memorials, and lastly a wheat. Then I came to this signal that sounded like a coin and was reading like a wheat with a solid 14-39. I cut a plug and well there it was. One huge fork. It has a B on it and the Berkshire family built this entire development we were in during the 1920's and lived in them until the built houses in between the corner houses and rented them out after the great depression. The home owner was totally geeked out as he is a local history buff and was able to tell me all about the family. I offered him the fork and he said,"No you keep it, it was just going to be a hunk of silver in my ground until you dug it up." I was floored and totally extatic. It was hard to keep going as I had 6 children watching and wanting to see what I was doing. I do think I am going to try and make it back as I only hit the yard for MAYBE and hour. I have posted the hallmarks in a hallmark forum and if I get an answer on who made it I will let ya'll know. Last pic is in grams.
