Silver Finds at the Grandparents Back Yard

[NKDigger]

I went to visit my Grandparents today and thought I would take my detector along. The house was built around 1940 and after convincing my Grandmother that I would not leave holes in her yard I began to detect. The area all of this was found was about 30 X 30 feet and there is still a lot of yard left to hit. I found several coins in the two hours that I detected including a 1939 Mercury Dime, a 1940 Quarter, two silver Rosie's, two nickels (one from 1943 and one from 1942), several wheat pennies, and close to $1.00 in clad. I also found a silver heart pendant with turquoise inlay and the coolest find in my opinion was a silver baby spoon that was engraved "1944 Danny Lee". I was pleasantly surprised with the finds and can't wait to try it again. The neighbor came over and was very interested in what I was finding and asked me if I would check her yard when I got a chance. I will return to go over both yards as soon as I can. Thanks for looking and good luck on your next hunt.

I do not know who Danny Lee is? My grandparents moved there in the 50's and no one new who lived there prior to that. It would be great to find out who he was and be able to return the spoon to him or his family.

Nice finds.

I'm pretty sure that spoon is from around 1944.

Time to check the abstract on your grandparents' property. It may be the previous owners had a lad (who is 66 now). That would be an Honorable Mention x 2 if you got that spoon back to the owner!
And great haul on the silver.

Hello Digger,

OUTSTANDING finds! Phenomenal hunt! Neat spoon, that's a bit creepy to know that someone put that in there mouth in 1944!

Thanks for sharing,
