Poppin' Silver

Hello,

I received permission to hunt this old house today. I don't really know how old it is prob 1900's house. The grass has almost grown over the front sidewalk. I can tell no one has lived hear for a while and the best thing is no one has ever
hunted the grounds!!

My first find came up as a nice 84-85. Out popped my first ever Standing Liberty Quarter. It was a 1927 no mint.

Next I found a 54 silver quarter followed by a 41D Merc. Every signal I dug was an old coin. What a great feeling that was. All in all, I did manage a record high of 6 wheat's. Years for those: 15S, 39, 39S, 45D, 46S, and a 54D.

I also dug what I thought was a shell casing but after closer look it might be a small thimble. What do you think?

Thanks for looking,
Fishstank

Re: Poppin' Silver

Your shell casing/thimble thing is the end off a pencil
some very hard leaded pencils had and still have a metal end without an eraser.

Re: Poppin' Silver

Thank you for all of your responses. It's raining cats and dogs here. So I will have to give that area another go.
I'll report if and when I find something.

Thanks,
