Great finds and congrats on the thimble as it is really in good shape.

Good luck on your next hunt.

When I saw that thimble, the song "Silver thread and golden needles" popped in my head by the Springfields. So now you have to find the golden needles.😀

Good find I bet that was a nice reward for you after all the shot gun caps and 22 cartridges...

Thanks for the kind comments, yes it was a due reward after chasing many low conductor targets.  Still pinning my hopes on finding a full or half gold sovereign one day due to the former residents being quite wealthy.  Whether it will be found in the iron contaminated areas or on cleaner ground that is simply too deep for the hf coil remains to be seen.

Looking at the other links on your link I found ....Silver Collection Hallmarks.... the range of hallmarks is massive.
