Re: Metal Detecting
If you look in yards of old house where they were rather poor and had a lot of kids, you will find a lot of silver nickles, dimes, and old pennies. Lot of smaller pewter toys and other items. Always had a lot of luck in old farm houses. Catholic communities in small towns also render up a lot of sterling silver religious items.
I think one of the most interesting finds was a new born infant ring which was gold and had a small emerald chip in it. It was nine inches in the ground and in a yard where a colonial house from the 1700's stood.
