found my great grandfathers tie clasp

[Kmatch7]

Well I hit the same house that has been in the family since the 20s. I hit this house real hard the past few weeks and found 2 silver Washington's 13 silver rosies 2 Canadian dimes obne being a cool 1918 one. Also a SLQ and 2 Jefferson war nickels. But nothing will compare to my latest find. I have been trying to hit a part covered in ivy real bad so it can be a pain. Got a good Vdi of 84 and thought I had a silver dime. Nope out popped a Sterling silver tie clasp with my great grandfathers initials. I thought it could be diamonds at first but did some research and it is marcasite most likely. Still I think this is pretty cool. I will post pictures in a few

Yea I am having trouble uploading them. I have a iPad. I couldn't do it on my phone and I can't do it on here. Findmall is a lot easier lol

Sounds like a great spot to detect!

Definitely cool. I bet there are more things to find there.

Outstanding Kmatch7!

If you hadn't even known the person who had this, it would be a nice find. Since it was a relative, it's even more important. Very nice

Happy Hunting!

A yard like that one is what I could use to get me going. That yard should have produced some Mercury dimes.Did your SLQ have a date showing?

 

[Kmatch7]

I pulled 3 mercury dimes and the standing liberty had no date. Also found a beautiful 1912 barber dime at this spot unfortunately the house was lost in a foreclosure since this original post
