1940's/50's ballpark part 1 *Updated with a big hunk of silver*

Alright my mission for this winter is to find some seated silver and so far it has eluded me. So to keep me motivated I decided to just look for any silver. I checked out this ballpark in a old part of town and got my fix. The digging was easy and the targets were everywhere. I was really surprised about the number of targets, it was almost like nobody ever searched this place before. It being a ballpark in the middle of town gives me hope that the rest of the spots I am researching in the area might be full of goodies. The silver was bettween 5 to 8 inches deep and hopefully pulling all of this clad out will help me hear some more deep targets . I have a feeling that there might be some gold out there too so I am digging everything. Anyway thanks for checking this out and HH. Jeff. Oh yeah does anybody know what kind of button that is on the last picture. Thanks

If you're pulling coins from 5 and 8 inches, that place has had fill material brought in. Either dirt or dirt and sod. Increase the sensitivity setting on your detector, if you can do it; slow way down and use small overlap swings to increase your chances of pulling out more deep coins. There should be a lot more silver there just waiting for you.
Good luck and happy hunting. :thumbsup:

Very nice finds, the buckle could be as early as the 1650s. HH, Mike

Thanks for the replies. You all are very kind. Went back out today for a hour after work and found my first piece of actual "Silver" ware. It has the people last name "Wilson engraved on the front (I tried to get a picture, but I don't know if it turned out well. On the back there is "sterling" with three marks. Can anyone tell what time frame it is from, from the marks. Thanks Jeff. Oh Yeah I can not get any of the forum pages to upload or I would have just started a new post with this find. Does anyone know what could cause this.
