Large old silver, couple of small silver and a piece of large 38g silver.

Went to an older house tear down, that I believe the houses were torn down in the 50s or maybe the 60s to make a double base ball diamond field for a really old school. I seem to only find coins from the 40s and back and a lot of finds from the 20s and 30s. The first good find was the 1903 barber quarter at about 10"-12". It was bent probably from an old push mower, so I didn't mind scuffing it. Next was the sterling knife handle, (38g), that still had a little steel pin stuck in the end, that use to be the blade. The little hat charm that I believe is sterling was found at about 10". I hunted this spot two other times for a couple hours each time and came up with old wheats and two merc's from the 20s. Thanks for looking!

that handle is filled with plaster or resin, thats what gives it support

I looked inside the handle when I pulled the steel pin out and it was all hollow inside, so the filling must have dissolved or something. The end of the handle way down inside I think has some though. It is a light greenish color.

Super Silver!
Love that knife handle!
I got one of the same weight from saltwater, all the steel was already rusted out

getting those pins out can be extremely difficult, I usually just cut the handles open..

(when I snag sterling knives at goodwill or yard sales, dug items aren't scrapped)
Great Finds Thanks for showing! HH
