count as silver? older sites hunted and newer park

[treasureguy]

Hello, hunted yesterday across the street i hunted it once before for about 1/2 hr, but noticed holes all over the place so left to hunt somewhere else, i got permision from the county to hunt it , they are building a jail in this site and tore down, 4 to 6 houses down over there i think some of them date to the early 1900's , i was hunting over there and a guy with his two kids asked if i found any old coins , i found out that he did allready, reason for those holes, but he did not have a detector, just surface finds for him, and he found a 30's dime he said, i found some junk, few things i don't know what they are, like the long skinny thing that looks like a tire guage? also i found a very old spoon, i was surpised it's marked nickel silver, does this count as a silver find ?? today i took my son to the park and found all the stuff to the right, digging every single just about nowdays, getting more use to bending over all the time digging , so easier to dig more often, can't wait to get a pinpointer for those hard finds in the sod, results about 3 1/2 hours, 15 pennies, 5 quarters, 3 dimes, 1 nickel, and one old nickel silver spoon, later all happy hunting

Damn, you were a day too late, dude! Oh well, there is always a tomarraw.

good thing he does not have a detector, i have only covered 1/4 of the property so maybe i still have a chance at a silver coin

Sounds like you got a site that will keep you busy! 8) Bet there's lots more to be found there! Congrats on those finds....

Nice haul, and it sounds like you have your work cut out for you.

Once you have a pinpointer you will wonder how you ever hunted without one. Great finds, cool spoon. But no zipper pulls.

Does sound like a site with great potential. Bad about the holes though, perhaps another detector not filling in holes? If so just another person making detectors look bad.

I wish you great luck on the rest of the site. Gotta be something of interest in a place with such potential.

Nickel silver contains no actual silver. It is a copper, nickel, zinc alloy. It is sometimes referred to as German silver.So to answer your question the answer would be no. Sorry. Keep at it and good luck.
