Went out of town today, to an old spot I detected before, but this time I found some goodies. It was a surprise to dig the first coin, a 1956 D washington quarter at about 5". Then not more than 3 feet away, I found a 1925? merc at 8" or 9". The final coin was just great, a standing liberty quarter(no date) at about 5". The large lead ball is kind of a mystery, but I think it's small cannon shot? The garter fastener, I thought, was kind of neat also. Hope you enjoy the photo's. HH

hwking01, I think it was used with a canning jar and may of had a seal under it, or a ceramic disk. thanks for looking. HH
 
That's a great day you had! I can't remember the last time I dug a Washington and SLQ on the same day, and I find silver frequently. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Congrats,
