... and even some modern silver too! :thumbsup02:
Got off pretty early today and did some driving around in an old neighborhood looking for a old house to hit. I spotted a couple of ladies outside chit-chatting. So I pulled over and found out that they were neighbors. One ladies house was built in 1890 and her neighbors (right next door) was built in 1884. I got the green light to hit both yards. The first house I could tell something was wrong right away when I got a memorial at 6 inches. So I made my way over to the next yard and the lady came out and asked if I'd found anything. I explained what I'd found and why it was odd. She then told me they had sod put in about 5 years ago. :bummer: So I started in the parkway of her house and got a strong signal deep! Turned out to be a soda can over a foot deep. :bangshead01: She said they redid the streets and gutters at one time. (That explains that) But I did find a hefty, modern 925 silver earring right on the surface. It weighs 5.1 grams! So I asked if I could go into her yard. She said go ahead. So I did. My second signal was a really cool pair of vintage sterling cuff links!! First one of those! :thumbsup01: (Silver ones anyways) They weigh 5.4 grams!! They say KALO STERLING. I also found a small piece of a silver "something" :lol: I know it's silver I just don't know what it's from. I was digging similar signals hoping to find other pieces to it but no such luck. Oh plus 4 wheaties and some clad.
Here's the keepers fresh from the ground:
