1873, 1914, Siver, Gold

Hello All,

Been having some great hunts here and there and decided to post. After finding the 1873 IH last week, today I snagged a 1873 Seated Dime. Also nailed a 1914 Barber Quarter (my second Barber), and a Sterling Silver ring. The other ring in the cluster pic with the cross and other stuff was from months ago, I just always thought it was a child's toy -but it is gold after all, so that is a first for me too. The last pic has the seated/barber with a 1945 Scotty Dog match case. It has a full calendar dial with Scotty the Dog looking at a "no parking" sign on the front. The brass gas fixture is for a light and I couldn't resist posting that as the design is truly Victorian and beautifully ornate. Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the reply and question. They coins/silver ring/match case were found in front of a farm house that was built in around 1900. They were in in good soil about 6-8 inches down. We had a heavy rain here yesterday in Central MA and I think that contributed to me getting good signals. The owner is completely rehabbing the property and house and gave me permission to hunt. He and his wife are so committed to this project (she has a blog going regarding the process) that although they offered the finds to me, I couldn't take them somehow. They belong with them and hopefully will provide a little garnish to all the blood, sweat, and tears they are giving up to their dream home. The gold ring and the things in those pics were found in my yard, also on the same road as the farm house.

You're out in Hardwick, I have a couple of business connections around Warren that I have been trying to turn into leads/permissions. If I get something going out there, I'd be glad to hunt with you. Parks are not very productive for me for the older stuff -Old homesteads on the other hand are where all my good finds seem to be. I'll pm you my contact info . . .
