Sunday evening my family and I were at a friend's house that was built in 1908. Although I have detected here once in the past, I asked if I could detect around a little while.
I found this in an area I detected before, but not since I got my new detector. With it was 2 nails, and I'm very glad to have dug the signal. It was showing up as a dime, but I found the 2 nails first.
The only markings are "U.S SILVER, CO." and I have tried finding info on it, but I can't find any. My main question: is it silver? I don't think it is solid .925 because I can see a copper core where I unbent it. Yet, even if it's plated, it would be my first silver find! All thoughts and research appreciated.
Thanks for looking, happy hunting, & God bless.
