Cape Cod Silver

steelheadwill · Sep 16, 2011

Hi all,
Went down to a camp on the middle cape to replace an iron soil pipe.
As I backfilled, I scanned every few inches of the
trash filled piles with my Coiltek Joey,
Its separation capability is outstanding :wink:

Mike at Woodlanddetectors got the best deal on em...
I use mine more than my stock coil.
Got a nice silver Thimble, and a really ugly ring with that beautiful 925 mark

Some 19th/20th century glass & pottery, the camp was built in the 50s, apparently on an older site. I have an intact script 'CSM Boston Ma' bottle I found up here,
the plain jar with the patent dates is rather odd, it is in mirror image (corrected in photo) must be for the rim design.
Searched the local swimming areas, junk rings, clad, & a cool looking cross.
This year someone beat me to the good stuff ::)

Low tide at the beach here lets you walk two miles (no Kidding!) and still not reach the water.
Had a great trip! Planning on doing it again next week too, to find some old stuff at sites I scoped during this visit :hello2:

thanks for looking! HH all :thumbsup:

Marconi is also part of national seashore i believe

Thanks All!
The entire outer cape is national seashore I think....
I scoped some inland sites with lots of history & no MD regs.
Let you know if anything turns up, HH :thumbsup:

I can't tell how bent the thimble is, but I wanted to put in my 2 cents worth. I'm not a thimble collector, but a thimble user. My grandma's thimble that I use is not still round, it is molded to fit a finger. So before you tap a thimble back into a round shape, try it on someone's finger (appropriately sized) and see if that may have been the "usage shape". Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Sorry I missed this post of yours from last week Herbie! :-[

I really like the crucifix and the silver thimble, I'd love to find a thimble someday!
I did find my first real Dog tag today - 1951 and solid brass too!

Let me know when you receive my letter and tell me what you think or give me a call on my cell.
Best of luck to you buddy,
Dave

PS. I'm picking up the ring at the restorers on Friday afternoon, I'll email you with a pic! :thumbsup:
