Year end hunt, silver, military, awesome Half Cent.

pepperj · Dec 30, 2023

I went back to the new permission for another hunt.
Started with a big thimble.

Then I started to find a few buttons, then a buckle.
I dug the old copper, and stuck it in my pocket.

Then I got a 92, which changed to a 99 out of the hole.
I really thought I had a colonial silver.

But it was not to be, but it was silver.
1960

Got a little military cuff button.

Like to add it's a first, and the oldest Half Cent.

This is the last hunt for the year. Very pleased to end it on a high note.
Kind of amazing year it was.
Happy New to everyone

Really good hunt! I don't understand why so many thimbles were lost?

Very nice. Was that guy hovering over you giving you a history lesson?
What detector do you use?
Congrats,

Thanks Tony
Both sites on this permission had a thimble.
It seems that most homesteads have a few.
Probably doing the mending out on the lawn, drop it, lost.
