I finally found something worth posting. I have gone a few hunts in the area with very little luck. This isn’t exactly Spanish silver or a rare copper but it is the kind of relic I really like to see in the hole.
I went back to the old school house/post office/general store that I went to a couple weeks ago. The only thing that I found there was the 1967 Confederation token which I posted previously. I have been heeding a fellow detectorists tutelage and have been going real slow with tiny sweeps in the junk iron areas. I think I am finally starting to get the hang of it.
I found this silver quarter in the middle of a heap of iron as well as the suspender buckle. The crotal bell I found near what was the drive way. This is the first intact tombac crotal bell that I have found. Can anyone approximate an age on the tombac crotal bells? I think I read somewhere that they predate the brass and copper bells. Not sure though.
