Oh how I love thee silver... :smitten: Took advantage of a For Rent sign in the yard of house built in 1931 and got an okay from the landlord. Found the 1939 Walker and 1949 Washington around two feet apart about 4 deep. I dug the 925 Thailand silver ring at an old city park-nope not a real diamond crying01 next to an ancient sandbox...
I love the Remington pocket knife- perfect condition! It was several inches down in a different city park. Not sure of the age, it says Sportsman Series on one of two blades. Thanks for looking!

Hey Baba! Thanks- actually it's a very small yard- on out there is city property though (I think?) With a creek running through it. It's U.K. college campus (city??)

:shocked04: Awesome silver... love the WLH! <:
Glad to hear your 'for rent' hunch paid out. The half sure must have been a pretty sight when you first caught glimpse of her. :daydream:
Congrats Tana. :clapping:

Oh, wow Tana! That's awesome. What a great hunt. That little locket looks to be old as well. Nothing like the feeling of pulling big Silver out of the ground. I would go back and spend some more time there if you get the chance.

:confused: Not sure what's going on... It seems others can see the pics. Are there boxes w/red x's?
Thanks for all the feedback everyone! Headed out to a very old cabin site with Hillbilly Dave today- wish us luck! It's supposed to get up close to 60 degrees today 8)
