Carolus 1/2 Real and other finds to kick off Feb.

[Metal Headz]

I went back to an older site I've hit a few times with the ATP. This was my first time with the Nox 800 and I took my time to dig every repeatable tone. That meant clearing the leaf clutter and removing stones to hear those faint and tight tones.

I applied tint to these for enhancement. Carolus III? 178? This was a VDI 19. My first 1700s silver.


I ended up pulling 2 LC (I think 1830 & 1841), 3 small buttons, and I brought home some pottery pieces for the picture. Then afterwards i hit a park that I've been pulling most of my silvers from recently. I combined everything into one pic excluding the 7 wheaties I found. Grover Cleveland is the presidential token and North River Savings Bank is the other. P mint 1939 & 1941 Mercs. 11 silver coins fty.


Here are some of my finds from last weekend. I pulled 1906 and 1908 Indians and a few wheaties not pictured. They are still caked with dirt.


I also found my first gold plated .925 ring last weekend.


So much area to cover. Good luck out there!

Nice finds. So many of those good early silvers come up in the 19-21 range on the Nox.

Congrats Louis! It’s amazing you were able to pull those additional LC’s and Reale from that spot. I remember when you took me there a year or so ago, must have been a log cabin on the side of the very large and steep hill, definitely some early Pgh history took place there, but a tiny level shelf for logical swinging.

Nice mix of really old and some newer stuff. Don’t let up on the gas! No hibernation this year, your on track for 100 FTY!!!!

I think Casper was referring to the ring, Metal Headz. I also believe he felt the stone in the ring could be real, and was urging you to get it checked. I would urge the same.

Congrats on that beauty of a half real. Gotta love the old, old silver.

Thanks Casper! I originally misread your comment as I was reading about fake Spanish silvers. I'll follow up once I get the ring checked.

Ah thanks for pointing that out hahaha I wasn't reading his comment carefully. I'll get the ring checked.

The 2 LCs were mixed with or under the small pile of stones. I'm curious of the real purpose of this small cabin and what took place there.

I got some other smaller parks lined up to hit, we'll see if i can keep up the pace.
