The metal detecting god's were with me yesterday! Cool Silver Elgin Cig case....

Well I went to a couple older homes outside Philly with a couple friends yesterday. What a day, I had a blast. First real find of the day was this cool buckle with designs on it. Anyone know what age this may be? Then I hit a huge heavy ring that Say's Naples on it. Turns out its junk, well not marked in any way. Still happy i worked my way to a lone tree where I heard the sound of silver come through the head phones. I was rewarded with a pocket spill from the 40's. Two Quarters 1944, 1942, One wheat 1944, and a 1917 Indian YEAH!
A few more finds for this home, a cool Ambulance etc., and we were off to another house. Here I found the buttons and bullets. We were just ready to pack it in being very tired and I got a loud signal at VDI 94. Now I just read a post the other day where some decide to not dig these signals. DIG THEM! I dug down almost a foot and found a tiny Med. bottle standing up? Kept digging and I saw silver looking back at me. I thought I had dug a pocket watch. Turned out to be a neat silver cigarette case made by Elgin. WOW I was psyched. What a day. Ryan and Aaron also did good with silver finds each.

Cheers - Brian

Mud - I noticed you found the same cookie cutter the other day. That's to funny. I have seen large ones but never saw them that small.

Brian,
I must say, that ambulance is VERY cool. :thumbsup: Any company name on the bottom? At first I thought it was the Ghostbusters car. :wink:
Beautiful buckle for sure. Congrats to you. Great variety of treasures. :icon_king:

Oh Wow!!! Congrats on all the great finds!! A superb hunt! :thumbsup:

Nice silver! That ambulance is so awesome! I remember back in the 60's before the fire departments took on the paramedic function around here, the local funeral homes all had those & that's who you called when you needed an ambulance. :tard: Kinda spooky when you think about it...

No such thing as a "cheap one" that old bud. That is awesome - I would have had a minor coronary digging that out! Congrats on some great finds... :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
