All Treasure Hunting
Got out this morning for a local hunt at a school that has given up many treasure since the late 1990's for me . I decided to dig almost every clear sounding target and also worked the side lines under the trees . I started finding clad everywhere . As I moved across the soccer field I got a faint +74 , +68 . It was around 8-9 inches . I was very surprised to see what looks to be a very old lead bullet :icon_thumright: ! I'm looking for some help on this one , age of it or any info . After that I was working around a small tree and had a sweet +88 at one inch , SILVER :thumbsup:! This is the 2nd one of these I have found over the years , a 925 MEXICO silver ball bell pendent :hello2:. I believe this is dog jewelery :laughing7: . Other items were a 1987 Hungary coin and a cool old angle pin , very tiny . Total clad for 2 hours was $7.09 .

Congrats on the finds.
 

Nice to see you got out and pulled some nice keepers. :thumbsup:
 

good job on the unique silver!, very cool!
 

That is one strange looking bullet, wonder what the striations are from? Nice chunky silver ball, and angel! Congrats!
 

One of the members here on the site says the bullet might be a .44 or .45 caliber bullet dating from the 1880's ! :thumbsup:

Love that silver!!
 

It is truly amazing the amount of knowledge on this site!
That's awesome 1880's!
 

That's a nice looking piece of silver.
 

I'll take a guess 45-70 caliber. Nice finds...
