I had 2 silvers for today, but one is really toasted.

Today I tried a new location and it was somewhat productive. My friend buys old homes to remodel and flip them, and he lets me know when he gets one, so I can " clean all the metal from the yard". This is what I found today. 11 newer pennies, 3 clad dimes, 4 wheats 1956,1944, 1941, 1911, 1935 Merc dime, and one small toasted coin. It appears to have been in a fire and also seems to be silver. I can tell it was a coin as part of the edge that is left is reeded. More than likely a dime in its previous life. In the picture of the artifacts found, I thought the spoon might be silver, but it turned out to be silver plated. I could use some help in identifying the object in the lower right corner. It looks like 2 buttons connected with a link. Any thoughts about it?

If you practice wisdom and choose carefully flipping property can be quite lucrative.... Getting built-in permission? Awesome! I love that assortment of finds, how are you running the XLT? I'm running my third one now sometimes, it can be a bit finicky but still a producer!

I use the built in program for coins and jewelry frequently. I've been using this xlt since I retired in 2001 with good success.

Nice results from the yard hunt, the one is still worth melt but I would keep it as it's an interesting find melted like it is. The cuff links are a nice recovery also, best of luck on the next yard that you do.

I did test it and it is silver and based on the size with the reeded edge it was probably a dime.
