Lots of Digging for a Little Silver

[romeo-1]

Only decent target today was the little piece of hallmarked silver. We did secure permission for a lot of territory as soon as the corn comes out so it really was a good day!

The cornfield may bring a ton of good targets.
Congratulations on the Silver.

sweet little slip of silver there
I always like a new site, but I like potential even better!
it's nice to see the corn coming off, it makes for farm fresh finds!

That's a nice freebie too. Well done.

Not sure what the silver is, maybe a parasol tip, but it's dated 1894.

Could the silver be an ornamental band for a tobacco pipe stem (where the mouth piece inserts into the wooden bit of the stem) ?

 

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

Yeah, a lot of digging there (always good) and old enough to score an interesting tidbit. Smaller than a finger .....?

I thought that at first but the end is rounded over...definitely the tip of something.

Looks like a good hunt. With that type of stuff coming out you could’ve popped out a crazy find at any moment! [emoji106]

Nice finds, congratulations!

Nice! Is that a double struck coin?

Nope...its a 1939 coronation medal.
