Default Silver and Cash today

I snuck off for awhile today....and found a few pennies, a clad quarter, 2 clad dimes....and these 2 beauties. The quarter was scarcely 2 inches deep in a churchyard here in town which had not, until today, produced a silver coin. About 100 feet from there...in a neighboring yard, I found my first Asian Cash coin. It's most likely the oldest coin I've ever found....but I don't really know.

I first thought the cash coin was the escutcheon from a victorian drop drawer pull.....then I thought it was just a washer....but the square hole caught my eye or it would have probably been in the trash pouch. It registered as a perfect "quarter" on the 6000.

I just had to scratch my "silver itch" today. I'm glad I live in a place that allows me to have one....a "silver itch" that is. There's still lots of silver in the ground here, even if it's not old stuff......just have to pass the coil over it.

Silver's held at 13 dollars an ounce for 2 days....last time it reached that mark there was a huge sell-off.
