Beat the Heat...Barely!

[romeo-1]

Spent a few hours in the sweltering heat today on a new site that we've been waiting on for months. Unfortunately not as productive as we had hoped and it was absolutely littered in shredded aluminum.

Did pick up a couple keepers including the One Stiver which is in much better condition than I originally thought. Find of the day though was the engraved silver thimble. My first silver thimble so pretty happy with that! Thanks for looking!

Silver thimble is pretty cool! I only ever found one myself too

At least you got a couple interesting things. I had one day out last week that was getting in range to how I felt that day at the RP field near a decade ago.

What is a stiver ? I'm familiar with florins , farthings , haypennies , thruppences etc. but i don't know the stiver (take me to school !)

Its a coin made for an English colony. My wife dug a half stiver which was large cent sized, so I’m sure a one stiver is massive.
