It was great to finally get out today to move a little dirt. I went to the old farm and dug up a lot of nails and stuff. I did finally get my first silver thimble:happydance01:.

Nice job on the thimble. Surprised none ever settle under my coil. I do believe spring might finally be coming. Congrats. WD

Thanks everyone, I was able to straighten it out and cleaned it. I found the makers mark MKD sterling on the inside. Found the exact same one on ebay for 39.95.

That is an awesome find! I've been detecting for 40+ years and I still haven't found a silver thimble. :crying01:

I'm glad you got it straightened out. It is a wonderful piece of history!

Hey Robbie, I think I see an old saddle bag adornment in the first pic between the thimble and the D buckle. Congrats on the bucketlister!

Congrats on the thimble. I've yet to find one of any type metal. Nice looking flat buttons too!
