A nice old silver thimble

[Diggincoinz]

I've seen this old worn down vacant brick home near the old fields that I've been working and this week noticed that all of the sudden the grass was mowed and bushes and overgrowth had been cut and cleaned up so I stopped and asked the nearby farmer who owns the field what he knew about it. Well, it belongs to him . . . so I got the go ahead!

So I hit it with high hopes of digging some silver coins! Well, NO COINS WHAT SO EVER Clearly had been done before but then I got two silver plated large spoons (not shown) that couldn't have been missed by any detector so I'm thinking awsome there's still coins here!

I got no coins but had a bouncy signal but repeatingly a decent tone so I dug 6 inches to recover a real nice silver thimble (size 6) and I got my silver . . . thanks for looking!

Don't be too disappointed; that's a nice find! I found my only silver thimble a few years back; the last few weeks, I found three more sifting dirt in my yard but they're not silver. Talk about a letdown!
