Fors Relic Scores Old Silver

[bado1]

Hit my oldest coin to date with the Fors Relic this morning.

1896 Barber Dime

and the coolest crown cap ever!

The Fors Relic is impressive in the trash.

Too hot to hit the AZ gold fields. This was some Arizona high country relic hunting. HH

Good way to break in a new detector!

Nice finds. old silver coins are just as great as a nice nugget. I dont know what the weather will be like there this coming week; but in north Cal it is suppose to cool off tues to 80's and even some 70's later in the week. That is very rare for june around here. It is usually in the 100's. Might be a good week or next weekend for everyone to hit the goldfields before it gets hot again. Meanwhile im still a armchair detectorist.  Good luck

Thanks, All!

Supposed to be brutally hot (116*) in the deserts this next week. The gold will have to wait a while.

Congrats on the silver, but I really like that cap.  I have never seen one like that.

[goldbrick]

I'm with Swegin. Have you researched that caps origins?

[fredmason]

valuable relic, very rare and used for magical ceremonies....

Seriously, I have only found one of those early pull-tab type bottle caps.

I have not had a chance to research that cap. When I found it I really looked hard for others in the general area. No luck though.

I will see what I can find on it and let you know.
