1912 Barber Dime, 1903 V Nic, 46 Nic, Sterling Ring, 18, 25, 40, 56 wheats, etc.

[Ant]

I found a 1912 Barber Dime and a 1903 V Nickel, a 1946 Washington Nickel, a Sterling Silver Ring, and some wheat’s, 1918, 25, 40 and a 56.

I conducted 5 hunts at 3 different sites, hunting one of them 3 times. At that site I saw 6 different guys metal detecting, I talked to 2.

I found a few items that I don’t know anything about. The disc with the Egyptian
Landscape is hinged and it looks like it was fastened to a thin sheet of metal. It might be a decoration for a horse saddle. I’d be writing all day trying to describe the other strange items. Most of the strange items where found not far from an old livery stable location or along parade routes.

On a side note:
I’ve finally figured out who’s been leaving deep pick ax holes and trash at our public demolition sites around here (not one of the two guy’s I talked to).

It’s the out of towers that are hitting inland demolitions sites, working them at a mad pace not covering up holes and leaving trash targets. So for now on I’m truing the local boys out on my worked demos. And when I see an out of towner at one before I’ve worked it, I’ll call them sooner. I don’t like policing behind adults, sad, but true.

Please make sure to cover up your holes, even on demolition sites. If we don't, the city will stop us all together. Thanks.

Good going Ant. Sometimes I get to thinking I'm the only one left here who doesn't dig pieces of eight every time out.

But you got some good stuff there.

I can sure tell these are real digs.

HH,

That's some fine goodies you have there, Wtg on the finds.
Whoever is leaving the holes needs to have a few moles in their yard....Try covering up their tunnels!!!!
After stepping in a few of them, they might get the idea!!! I don't care where you dig, holes can get you sued if someone gets hurt.
Again WTG on the finds.HH

Way to go Ant! That's a nice pile of loot you've got there. Keep your eyes open, and hang their pelts to the fence.

Ant,
You're the master of the demo recovery. I've done a few of them and it's a very unique hunting experience. With targets scattered all over the place mixed in with iron and trash.

Nice work!

Hi Tymcmurray. Are ya kidding? This is the Wild Wild West, anything west of the Pecos, remember, hehehe. I have about 5 horseshoes and one still has part of the huff on it.

Thanks Badger. Now I know what to call those modern day pull tabs, pieces of eight, lol. I dig them because they might be a gold ring.

From plehbah.
"As to your Egyptian motif brass object, I cannot tell exactly what it is , but all of that Egyptian stuff dates to the craze that swept the nation after the discovery of King Tut' s tomb. I believe that was in 1922 or thereabouts. So there is an approximate age for your find.

Good job."

Thanks for dating and posting the other information on the disc depicting the Egyptian motif. And for you concern regarding our hobby.

Thanks again. I'm winging it on the photography; it's another hobby in and of itself.
