Hi guys. Been detecting since May. Have found 14 silvers, lots of clad. One gold wedding band that was returned to owner. Tokens and other interesting things. Just wanted to say hello. I am also going to try to include a picture of an item I found the other day. I have no idea. I put the penny in just for scale. It is smooth on the back and appears to be made of copper.

You were right with the word addiction. The second signal I dug after getting my detector was a 1917-D Mercury dime. Was like taking drugs!!!! Got to have MORE!!!!!

your pictures item looks like a button but without a picture of the back its really hard to tell , generally the back of a button tells more about it than the front .

Cody, welcome from western ma and the addiction. Glad to see that you are pulling the silvers. I know what you mean about your experience with that 17d merc. My first week I dug a 1775 1/2 reale, thought I was rich. Your pictured item reminds me of the design on the very early MA coins, oak tree, pine tree.

Hello
Thought I would post a picture of the back of the item. Had put it on the Whats It page also. Don't mean to double dip, but thought someone might know what it is. Also its not magnetic. Thanks

Cody, Welcome to the forum. Looks like you have already made a good start and addiction is a very good word for the hobby. I started the same time that you did, and my first find was a SLQ, and I have been hooked ever since. Haven't found nearly as much silver :crying02: but I've had fun. thumbsup01
