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.
