Another BIG SILVER today (1918), 1897 IH, + more - VIDEO

ModernMiner · Feb 26, 2011

I detected with Andy (DD-777) today at an early 1800's property I've detected in the past. This time though we hit an open pasture area that I've never hit. After digging a few rusty iron farm pieces I got a good signal within 20 minutes of being there. I cut a plug and to my amazement there was a LARGE SILVER in there!

I was hoping like heck it was an 1800's silver, but it was not to be. It turned out to be a 1918 Walker half. Still a great find. :thumbsup:

My second Walker half in two months now. Enjoy the video. Sorry for the scary face at the beginning. :tongue3:

I then dug what looks to be an old pewter (?) button in the pasture too. The shank is missing and it looks like someone shot the front of it. :dontknow:

We then moved to another spot that I just got permission to just up the road a piece. This was an area that had two old tenant houses back in the 1800's. The only thing left was the stone fireplaces and a cellar hole.
My very first signal when we got there turned out to be a 1897 IH. :hello2:

Andy was getting ready to club me with his shovel by this point.

We poked around some more and came up with the relics you see here. I think we just scrathed the surface at both of these places and I'm looking forward to going back. :thumbsup:

Thanks for looking,
MM
