Well, I found stuff.

The past 2 evenings I detected at the bottom of the hill by the old home site. Tuesday night, other than the usual rusty nails, I found a piece of a curtain rod and a sterling plate butter knife. I will admit all I could initially read was “Sterling,” and I was super excited. Upon cleaning, I was quickly reminded that this is a “poor farm” site.





Last night, I found a horse shoe and a half, nails, disintegrated license plate, something with an “R” on it, some kind of bolt, shards, and a button.






The button flew out when I was trying to get this “what’s it” out. The “what’s it” is still in the ground. The dirt is very dry and hard as a brick. Oh, and there are bricks in it.














Thanks for looking! [emoji6]

Looks like your getting in to 1800s on that site, I recommend you start looking for bigger size low tones or iron tones, I find alot of neat stuff going after the lower tones at old home sites, ax heads are one of my favorits..

Thanks, TC. I’m trying to stay away from digging the nails, lol. I got fooled by some and some, I just couldn’t pass. I read so many who post that they dig every signal. I don’t have the energy for that, not with this spot.

What do you see that is from the 1800’s? I am not very good at dating stuff.

Thank you, Tuberale. Yep, it did spike the blood pressure for a couple seconds.

Thank you, Plazz58. I am blessed to have this on my property. We didn’t even know it was here when we bought the land.

Interesting relic finds! Nice! Thanks for sharing. I have found a few pieces of that same kind of "sterling" myself over the years. Always good for a short thrill!

Thank you ArfieBoy. I guess that was the silverware the common folk could afford.
