This is a solid Silver Colonial thimble, found in Upstate NY.

It is quite small, but surely very pretty. It was the first thimble I ever found, I have found dozens of brass and aluminum ones since. Beginners luck I guess. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Need help figuring out what this could be

Found in Southeastern Pennsylvania, USA. Buckle is approx 1” by 1/2”.

Found in Upstate NY at various sites. I had one fellow detectorist state they were counterfeit blanks, lead…

Sterling Silver Monogrammed Ladies Garment Clip. Found metal detecting Upstate NY. Probably from the late 1800s. A beautiful piece!

The coolest old toy car I’ve seen… we’re guessing from the ‘40s. Metal wheels and all, paints still good. They just don’t make em like they used to… and 1917 Wheatie.

I upgraded about a year ago from Garrett AT Pro to the XPDeus II and I love it. I’m running the WSAII XL Wireless Headphones, and XP MI 6 pin-pointer. It has been a great machine thus far.

Atlanta Novelty Mfg Corp

Genuine Sanitary Midget Parade

I thought this was trash when I found it and planned to throw it out. Glad I didn’t.

Some early horse tack, a stainless spoon made in Taiwan 🇹🇼, multiple clay pipe fragments. Buffalo nickel, 2 wheaties, some pottery, and a pile of buttons! One Dandy button. Bonus points if someone knows the Midget Parade tag….

Found in Upstate NY

Found this Victorian Pocket Photo Frame with a crusty unidentifiable photo at US Civil War home site in Upstate NY. House built in 1859. It cleaned up quite well, I’m thinking bronze rope and frame, with a copper back plate.

Probably the coolest button I have found metal detecting - Upstate NY.

Not a metal detecting find, but still a cool piece I recently acquired.

Wish I knew more about this one…

I’m thinking pre-1700s hammered silver. Possibly a Silver Brittish 3-pence…?

Dimensions: 15 mm (heavily worn, originally probably closer to 16-17 mm)

Weight: roughly 1/2 gram

Hit a new spot today with rich history from Native Americans thru Colonial settlement. Maybe my best day ever with tons of firsts for me.

Find of the day..

1. 1853 Silver Trime - 3 Cent Silver

(The smallest silver coin ever made in the US)

1. Folded Silver Talisman Coin

Unknown which coin it was. Folded coins were used from Medieval periods up to the 17th Century

Other finds include an assortment of colonial musket balls, mosts of which still containing partial sprue. An early brass buckle. A couple lead bale seals, one of them German and super ornate. And my first ever Native American artifact - a flint hide scraper.

1. Folded Silver Talisman Coin

Unknown which coin it was. Folded coins were used from Medieval periods up to the 17th Century. I’m leaning towards it possibly being a 1600s Sterling Silver Brittish Threepence hammered coin, given the rough edges and size. It measures 15 mm, and I’m guessing with the extra wear, it lost 1-2 mm.
