Another good day, found silver but not a coin or jewelry...

[lucky1777]

Went out late afternoon yesterday. Been waiting for a little rain, so I could return to an old house I am detecting. Rain helps reduce the brown spots from my plugs. The house was built sometime in the 1850s. The owner is a 90 year old lady. She has lived there since 1942. Well I started where I left off and before long started hitting wheat's. Another 9 for the day. That puts me over 25 wheat's for the week. I also dug three Indians, which makes 4 from the front yard of this home. I got a really nice silver dime reading saying 7 inches deep on my detector and started digging. Out pops this silver thimble. It has initials engraved on it. It does not match the owner, or the previous owner. I am going to have to find out who built this house and see if it was theres. If you notice the V nickle between the Indian and wheat, it looks darn good for a nickle in this neck of the woods. The other V is how they normally look. The shinny one was stuck between the the Indian and wheat pennies. Thanks for looking.

The coins. Wheat's, 1911,26,45d,10,12,55d,40s,11,29. The Indians 1880,1891,1904. The V nickles 1907,1909.

I would say the Thimble is late Victorian.

Sweet finds Lucky! I like the thimble. The V nickel is also awesome - from the big picture it looks silver. I think all of my V's have been red. Nice job on the IH's. I enjoy finding them as much as the common silver.

By the looks of that one v nickel I would say it was definately resting up against another coin in the hole. I hope you rechecked that hole before you filled it back in. If you look at the edge of the coin, it is very dark, so I would say it was resting against a smaller coin. Process of elimination leaves penny or dime. Go back and check that hole dude.

Yes there was an Indian and Wheat on both sides of the nickle.

Thanks everyone for looking...

I love finding old coins, but I'd trade a few to find that kind of thimble. Great finds!
