A little SILVER up the Mighty Tesoros sleeve today!

ModernMiner · Feb 17, 2009

I got in a quick 1 hour hunt today. I guess you could say I'm addicted.

I hit the backyard of the late 1800's house I started last week where I dug the flower button.
I dug a few wheats (1923 & 1952) fairly quickly and a few memorials too. I was gridding off a few small areas and dug a 1936 D Merc.
What a great sight that was to see. At least there was one silver coin in this yard.

A few minutes later I got a somewhat iffy signal. At about 5" deep I pulled out this neat old set of flower design cufflinks.

They are marked "Sterling" on the hooked connector piece. By the looks of the way they were made, they seem to be pretty nice quality.
Any guesses on the age? Possibly Victorian?

My other finds included:
*a small flat button with no shank or back mark,
*large key hole cover,
*old brass faucet handle,
*A brass & iron what's it. :icon_scratch:

Besides the old cufflinks, I think my best find today was FINALLY locating an elusive bottle of Aluminum Jelly at Ace Hardware. :tongue3:

Thanks for looking,
MM

I don't know if I'll ever be able to outdo that button, but believe me I'm going to try. :thumbsup:

This may be my 401k.

Nana,
Can you believe she is now trying to drag ME to the health club her and my daughter just joined! I told her I do my crunches and arm workouts just bending over and digging relics. Besides, they don't serve beer there. :tongue3:
