...since I've dug a big silver coin Sad but true, October 2015 was the last one...so I thought I had finally killed that dragon at Dirtchurch early this morning while hunting around the base of this old tree with the XS... when my ears got blasted by a screamer of a shallow silver signal only a couple inches deep, a target likely pushed up by the big root it was sitting on...popped this out with the tip of the Lesche and...nope, no big silver still actually, it's a better find, not a can top or big aluminum token... but big vintage sterling and my best dig out of everything today another CT plate tag for the collection, $ 3.20 in clad, 4 wheats and the sterling... marked A & Z Sterling, long gone but founded in Providence, RI in 1905...this is only the 2nd piece of sterling this season but a very cool one, a bit larger than a silver half the only tree around that hadn't had fill dirt added around the base...amazing how some good things right out in the open sometimes get overlooked for years and years, isn't it That's all for this outing so thanks for the looks as always, see you after the next and Happy Hunting!
