Just Barely Got Silver

[Carolina Tom]

The weather was cool and clear, and I had the day off of work, so metal detecting seemed like the thing to do. I went to a couple of different places and dug a hand full of coins.



I found one of these 10 days ago, so I immediately recognize it as a “butterfly clutch”. It’s the back of a nice silver war medal. I have zero silver war medals, and now, 3 of these. As you can clearly see, it’s marked Sterling, and I don’t want to seem ungrateful, but dang...



This signal was a good one, however it always surprises me when there actually IS a silver coin in the hole.



I just barely squeaked in with a ‘64 Rosie.



I also managed to find 5 wheaties and Chinese checker marble.



YTD silver coins: 59
YTD Sterling items: 21

Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts.

Congrats Tom, you seem to always pull a silver on your excursions. Glad to see you got out and by the quantity of coins, you dug plenty of good targets.

Nice squeaker! I always say those 64's make up for all those stinking 65's we dig. Also, thats a nice pile of gas/coffee/battery money you're sporting there, Tom...Ddf.

Congrats on the 64. Silver is silver. Always nice to see any silver in the hole.

Nice Sterling medal clutch thingy. You'd think the medal may be lurking somewhere unless it had two holding it on? 1964 Rosies are fine by me. Silver is silver. Fine hunt.

Nicely done Tom. The Sterling clutch and 64 dime are definitely keepers. Congratulations
