1905 House turns up more coins & relics

Today, Bob (RWSNC) and I met at the 1905 house I recently got permission to detect. It was a hot (94 degrees) and humid southern day. Even the mosquitoes were sweating! We hunted for about 4 hours and recovered some pretty nice relics.
It took me 30 minutes to remove my soaking wet wedgie when I got home. Sorry, no picture of that.

Bob's finds were:
*1912 "V" nickel (lucky dog)
*1912 & 1919 "S" wheats
*Two decorative buckles
*Pocket watch pieces

My finds were:
*1926 Merc (Yeah Baby!)
*1913 Buff nickel
*Wheats- 1918 (x3), 1926
*.58 musket ball
*Coca Cola knife - The engraving & style look to be fairly old. Any idea on the age?
*Brass whistle w/ball still inside (cork?)
*Pocket watch pieces
*Asst'd crappe'

Thanks for looking & have a great weekend,
MM

Is your 1913 Buffalo a type 1 or 2? type 1 will be on a mound type 2 will be straight line

Creeper,
It looks like he's standing on a plateau and it curves down on the left side, like going down hill. Does that make sense?
Now you have me curious.

I agree Joe. The Coca Cola knife was a pretty neat find.

Nice finds Doug. I agree that the Coca Cola knife is the find of the day. I love how "everywhere" was spelled out "every where" back in that day. Maybe it has some value!

Yeah... it was hot but it was nice to detect an area that didn't have a lot of pull tabs and crushed cans.
Thanks Doug.

Thanks Terfan.
It does actually look better than it appears in the pictures.

That's for sure. The great thing is, I've only dug a couple of memorial pennies. Most of the pennies from this spot were IH's & wheats.
Nice job on that 1912 "V" today Bob. I was looking for an "S" mint mark after seeing the value in the Red Book. Sorry, no "S".
After you left I found some more wheats by the front porch and that whistle. Where the heck is the silver?

Thanks CDC.
That was the very first coin dug today. I saw an old picture with the family sitting in lawn chairs in that area, so I hit it first today.

Not bad for a nickle, huh? Too bad there was no mint mark though.

Thanks Rob. I was so hot and soaked in sweat today it was almost like water hunting.
