Really excited and happy to find this, haven't been able to get out much lately and the ground is always so dry it's borderline irresponsible to dig around here. I was out of state for the weekend and the soil was much more dense and healthy so I made the most of it. Silver #2 fty, the first being this German Silver pocket watch case backing also pictured. No silver coins yet!

Niceness! I don't know why I love thimbles and I've only found one sterling.
Yours is very decorative, I like!

Thanks everyone, it was a great find for me. I feel rejuvenated after not getting out much this summer for a number of reasons. Looking forward to tearing it up this fall, no pun intended.

That's much better than finding any silver coin before 1900s. Great hunt.
