I got permission for a yard ( half a block ) in a small neighboring town the bad news it has been hunted out 
the first night was the railroad tag any id would be helpful as to what it was for my guess is a mail bag id it's larger than a baggage claim and has no number, 2 Indians, 5 wheats and a v nickel not a bad start! The next nite was raining but who cares popped two Indians right away then 15 minutes later got a dime target as I was setting the coil to the side to dig I heard the second one just like a comp. hunt! Two barber dimes and 20 minutes later the rain is starting to pick up and I get a 12-46 at about 8 inches I recovered a shiny blob I thought was a piece of melted aluminum wiping the mud off and I had a sterling thimble
the hallmark is from Sterns Bros. 1890's-1910 era and is one of my top finds ever the art work is mind boggling to look at and still don't know all the meaning I just call it the village scene. The last hunt I was gridding slow in the same area as the silvers and got a repeatable 07-20 and first thought a piece of can slaw but it was 8 inches and could have been a token so I dug a nice plug and it was still down hole so I got the probe and out popped a barber quarter ? probed some more and got the second coin a v nickel nice surprise for an odd signal in a hunted out yard
