Silver Thimble & Quarter Spill - AND - Coinstar hit on the way home!

[Terry Soloman]

Great little 40-minute hunt while my better half hiked in the woods. Came up with some mystery metal, a silver thimble, and a five- quarter spill (just missed being silver!). On the way home Kate wanted to stop at the store and Boom! Foreign coin day at the Coinstar!

It looks as if someone crossed the border and thought the coinstar would take Canadian coins.

Man I would quit detecting for a while if I had that coin spill lol. Coin-grats on the silver thimble and massive coinstar haul.

Very nice! I see some interesting foreign coins...Deutsche, Romanian, $2 Canadian...and a British pound! So close on finding silver....there's got to be older coins where you detected I would think...

Some of that mystery metal is your oldest find. Its part of a 17th C (early 18th C latest) bronze cooking pot.

Way to go Terry! AS I walked into Staters yesterday I saw someone using the coinstar. I heard the reject bin clinking. Dashed up the isle for a couple steaks and some bottled tea and headed back to the front. Coinstar person gone Bin not emptied! I pulled 6 quarters from it. Unfortunately no silvers

That's a great thimble. Nice going and thanks for sharing!

 

[BuckleBoy]

The thimble you dug is aluminum not silver, which is evident from the style and details as well as coloration. Nice finds!
