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

The pocket knife definately steals the show, although the coinage and buckles ain't bad either.

I believe the knife is c1930. Third ad down on this link. http://www.greatlakeschapter.com/ads/all-ads-9.html


Wet Wedgie.....HILARIOUS. "Dig a target....and tug.....dig a target.....and tug.....dig a target.....and tug."

good shape for it's age,you don't see them that nice everyday.I would say that your buffalo is

So I went from $15-$18 to only $5-$10 already. I better rebury it and dig it up in another 100 years.
I'll take a $5.00 nickel any day though.
Thanks Old Dog.

Nice assortment of finds, congrats my friend and thank you very much for not posting the wet wedgie pic..

Smiles!

BDoo,
It is great to see you back on TN. We all miss your posts. You are the "terror of tot lots" as most recall.
I still have that ring you sent me for putting on the dress a few years ago. I'll never live that one down, and it scared the heck out of many, including my dog.
Those Michigan tot lots should be calling your name by now.
Thanks,
Doug

Doug,
Looks like I miss judged you. With the "hotter than heck" comment you made to be the other day I thought you would have your pansy @$$ inside sipping lemonade.

That Buffalo is a very good find. Early date and in great condition.

Dude!!! I'm a manly man out digging in hot humid 100 degree weather. Besides, I had Bob right behing me spritzing my delicate skin with water, bug spray, and sunscreen.
I need to come up your way so I can enjoy that cool weather.

Beautiful job guys i knew you`d get out while i was gone.
You did better than me last weekend.

Re: 1905 House turns up more coins & relics

Those are some awesome finds, but I gotta say, the best part about the whole post was the "asst'd crappe"!!

I've got an early CocaCola bottle opener close to that, "Drink Coka Cola, in bottles!"

I think you can get that pocket watch working again, LOL! Nice hunt and HH, Mike

Re: 1905 House turns up more coins & relics

Nice buff with a clear date Doug. The knife looks to be pretty old too. That may be a collector I remember when whistles were common item as toys but not anymore. Is it brass? Can't help you with the wedgie

As soon as I dug up that knife and saw the style of lettering I knew it would be something cool.

Mike,
I about spit my coffee out this morning on that one. HILARIOUS!!!
Thanks,

Ron,
Yep, the whistle is brass. That's the first one I've ever found. Must have fell of a Colonial gym teacher?
Thanks for NOT offering to help with the wedgie. I tied a rope to it then tied the other end to my truck bumper and had my wife pull it out.
Have a great week buddy,
MM
