silver

Found my first standing liberty quarter but the date is gone, I also found my second Washington silver a '42 and it's in great shape. Today I found a '42 Australian sixpence and three intact .50cal rounds. Had a great time and wish all my trips went this well. HH OMWP

I have a silver spoon that comes from my Great Great Grandfather who bought it for his wife for their 25th wedding anniversary and lived in New York.(We believe he had them custom made/bought locally) It is somewhere from the mid to late 1800s most likely.(Very early 1900s at latest.) It does...

Went to about 5 banks today. Picked up about $30 in pennies and asked around for halves. At the last bank, the teller explained "I have 2 halves, but they are both really ugly." She then tried to offer me the better looking Eisenhowers in her tray. I said I'd take the ugly ones. Sure was a...

So I recently stumbled onto the concept of this coin roll hunting and was immediately interested, so I went ahead and ordered me a box from my lifelong banking institution. It came in and I got to checking it out and lo and behold - four '64s and forty three 40%ers. I'm hooked.... So much so...

It seems like a lot of coin roll hunters get great finds with customer wrapped rolls. But it also seems that finds are more consistent with boxes or machine wrapped rolls. What have been your experiences? My only results have been from CWR but it's hard finding a bank with these let alone...

My Dad was unwrapping a box of Garda-wrapped penny rolls yesterday and found this coin that says "Silver Circle .999 Fine Silver 1/10 Troy Ounce" from the Golden State Mint in the middle of a roll. I thought this was a cool find -- probably worth at least $3.

So I went to get my now bi-weekly order of halves at work yesterday. This is the second time I have CRH for halves, usually pennies. However, I am enjoying pulling silver a lot more than copper. This time I had twice as many boxes but got the same number of keepers. Last time was 2 boxes...

so i've been lurking this place for a number of years, never posted until now. all of your posts in this forum inspired me to do some coin roll hunting. today i took a hundred dollar bill to a local bank and grabbed up 10 rolls of half dollars. i managed to pluck out (3) 40%ers, 1968D halfs. not...

Greetings! I am trying to find information about teaspoons I recently stumbled across. I tried to google "Gerla Silver", which is stamped on it's back but no luck. Can anyone provide any information on these items? Sorry the one spoon on the scan is blurry. Thanks in advance for any help!

This is the reason I got into coin roll hunting, folks. I ordered a box of half dollar coins from a local bank in my suburb. I called ahead last week to ensure I would have it for payday this week. So today I picked up my 2 boxes of halves (heavy as hell!) and eagerly take them home to...

I hunted an old hunted out park today with some good results. My first target of the day was the native bracelet which had a nail in the hole with it (to bad its cracked :( ) That got me pumped up, for the next hour I scored a few wheaties and then I popped the 1913 barber. Few more wheats after...

Great day today! Having a blessed streak. It's going to be an awesome weekend! Also attached recent bracelet find and other rings from a few month back. woo hoo

Treasure hunters in Alabama are welcome to join the group "Alabama" for general discussion of everything. Only two members as of 7/29/2012 so lets get the ball rolling with some new recruits!

I know for halves pre-1964 is 90%, and that 1964-1970 is 40%. Is this the same with quarters and dimes? Also, what types of halves, quarters, and dimes are valuable? I have heard barbers, washingtons, standing liberty, walking liberty, rosies.... but i have no idea how to identify these. Can...

Hi All, Just dug this up this afternoon on pasture. Thought it was a hammered but now I've cleaned it I don't know what it is. Its silver, 2cm in diameter and those small mounds are bumps not dints (not pushed out from the other side if you know what I mean). Looks like a small arrow stamped on...

I was in California two weeks ago and picked up my first box of Kennedy halves at Chase bank and found (15) 90% silver coins (14 from 1964 and 1 Franklin from 1963) and (24) 40% silver coins from 1965-1970. I picked up $190 in rolled coins from another branch that day and found 3 more 90%...

Went to a popular cliff jumping area. Check it out! Let me know what you think.

My husband found this yest. He says its silver. He has not cleaned it. On the pic of the back, you can see the hinge to the right and the hook to the left. The pin is missing. Its sure not the prettiest brooch, but interesting. Anybody seen anything like it?

Been trying to get out in the excessive heat we've been having. Went out yesterday to hit some new sites. Also haven't posted many of the other finds I've had...silver slow and steady. More Site Recon Yields Sterling Silver Saint Christopher Pendant | Get Metal Detecting

Hello everyone, I recently went to Vermont, and went detecting, coin roll hunting and garage saling. I found my first ever half dollar, a 1944 Walking Liberty, and in the same hole was a 1947 Rosie. Found some great stuff at the bank as well. Thanks for looking!

This actually happened yesterday, but I just got around to getting on my computer today. So I went into my local grocery store to pick up a couple of things. On my way out, I pondered if I should deviate from my path to the exit to check the Coinstar machine. I had a strange feeling that...

Ok, been lurking for a while but never posted any finds until now. Always thought this was pretty neat, but with no markings or anything, it's hard to say what it was meant for, although I can guess. It's heavy like silver, and you can see from the bottom where it was attached to the main ring...

cant post pics from mobile but it is a solid piece, little holes in it and crevaces, it is a dark sparkly gray color and has a smallllll hint of a gold flavor to it but.mostly the same color as platinum.. Its a Weird non magnetic metal found in bedrock, asseyer tested electronically and acid...

Rumors of treasure in this area. Mine? Gold? Silver? Spanish? Jesuit? Coins? Bullion? Of course I don't know where it is so I hope it is on this image. Need to start somewhere.

UPDATE!! I was able to track him down through the cards that were inside the holder. He emailed me this: "Dear Jason Thank you for finding my silver card.I lost it on my way from Courtyard Marriott hotel to Penn Station. I had had too much luggage and was in a big hurry to catch my train for...

I have a question if someone could help me please. I was on a trip detecting and found Civil War Rifleman's button. A saw piece that has says Warranted Superior and (and this is where the question comes in) An ingot that seems to be silver but it has the imprint of a 1905 penny. I have no idea...

Small fob or pendant, little bigger then quarter. looks to be composed of silver. no marks, looks real old due to its wearing out. in 3d style, with a dime sized unmarked bottom - hollow with same design on both sides. i believe it has knights templar symbols but really need more information...

I moved to Pennsylvania about 8 years ago and just got back into detecting. I was going looking through some of the history here and found there use to be a 19th century prison in what is now a park as well as a bunch of old 1920's resorts on the top of one of the mountains. Who would I have to...

Need Help To Identify Today's Find I found this today detecting out on a claim. Made the Gold Bug scream. It's a beast of a rock, 5.5oz. When I scratch the black surface off it appears silver. It is not magnetic. Is it silver? Palladium or Platinum would be much nicer :headbang:

Dug today at about an hour before low tide. best find of the day. other stuff includes a knife, some clad, bat mobile little car, a co2 cartrige and my surf pro made a sound i have never heard before, kinda a dull whine, turns out it was a magnet lol. the pendent has a no clasp stainless chain...

Had a fantastic day out in the fields!

Here is a small assortment of finds I've picked out of some very trashy & hunted out sites over the past week or so. There are a couple of Civil War bullets, (some 69 cal. round balls, some 54 cal. round balls, and 1 44 Cal. Sage pistol bullet. The balls came from a "hunted out area". The 44...

Well May did not have the silver numbers I wanted, but I got a big first for me. I always like to have a particular goal in the back of my mind when detecting. There’s the “daily goal” and the “next on my list” goal. I have to say that most of the places we hunt, either have bad EMI, bad iron...

I have always wondered about this question: What would you do if there were no half dollars to search? (no box orders, very low mintages, only pre 1964 would have been silver) Taking in account that I'm in Canada and here no bank would order any halves at all. They have really low mintages and...

I have NO clue if I should be posting this here or where I should be...but the site was recommended by Google and the thread mades *somewhat* sense IMHO. ANYWAY :) I'm new to dealing in estate auctions, antiquities, collectibles, HTF items, and similar. I am mainly working with vintage jewelry...

In the last couple of weeks I've found over 60 coins, one Swiss 1/2 Franc, two necklaces (one is silver and the other may be silver), a pocket knife, and several pieces of costume jewelry. Yesterday I used low discrimination, I used high discrimination, I dug deep targets, and I dug shallow...

Best week of CRHing for me this year so far. 2 key dates today. I've posted a few times in the past week about some great finds, I scored a bunch of v nickels, mercury dimes, and silver rosies. Well my amazing streak has continued! Went to the bank that I scored the mercs, rosies, and v nicks...

For all the coins you have searched (lets make it easy and say this year so far) how much have you paid per ounce of silver? I did some quick math on what I paid and the number I came up with is $2.19 per ounce of silver for 2012. I looked at a historical price chart and that was the price of an...

I bought a used Minelab SE a couple weeks ago and I've already noticed that I'm finding deeper targets that I was with my other machines. Surprisingly, I haven't really been finding a lot of clad as I expected. That's totally fine but just strange to me I guess. What I have been finding the past...

Hello, I'm new here, I need some help with this Peruvian/ Spanish COB that I bought last year in Cuzco, Peru. The coin pass the silver test. It weights 8.83 grams and one of the sides of the triangle measures 1 inch, thanks in advance, Alex
