I am normally a gold dredger/panner/prospector by nature on here, but I have now turned my attention towards metal detecting. I just recently bought a second hand Garrett Infinium LS from a member on here (Marcus45). Just as I had got the machine, we get slammed with snow which seemed to want to take forever to melt, even after it finally did, the clay ground was frozen solid. So finally, today was warm and the ground thawed out, I had beat a straight path to a farm field that had seen some activity from Hernando De Soto to the Revolutionary war. Sadly, it never produced any coins or relics today, but I did get a screaming loud hit that about blew my eardrums out and and as I scraped some dried grass and leaves to uncover the spot to dig, there lies a plated silver cake/pie type serving utensil with the words "American Silver Co." on the back.
Afterwards I got your typical foil/rusted bolts/shell casings kind of finds. It wasnt anywhere near your back-flip kind of finds as I was hoping to get, but at least I came home with something worth a bit more than a pocket full o' pull tabs.
Note: this post was revised from me finding BIG SILVER to PLATED SILVER, I just found out through research, that it isnt the real deal, which for me, sucks. Oh well, still better then pull tabs I suppose.
