Been able to get out to the plantation permission a couple of times last week. Dug up some pretty interesting stuff.
You just never can figure out just where something cool will find it's way under the coil here.
For Example, I found this:
Here!
Middle of no-where, but that no-where used to be a pine forest, harvested first for the tree sap to make turpentine, then for the wood. Followed by years of orange grove, then fields of water melon and other crops. And before any of that, who knows what else, because archeologists have found artifacts on this property dating back over 3000 years! Sure would like to dig something that old up in one of these thousands of holes I've been digging metal out of........
So here are my finds from the two trips out hunting:
Included is this, which was identified in the "What is it" forum, as a Seated Liberty Dime dating between 1860 - 1875:
(three labeled coins are sample images)
This old padlock, that started falling apart in the electrolysis bath:
I have not been able to identify what the initials on the brass key hole cover stand for yet.
This old brass ID tag with multiple patent dates stamped into it:
The first date is clearly from 184* something
And a couple of nice brass belt buckles, shot-shell bases from between 1896-1906, a really
cool & appearing to be very old brass and copper Jewelers loupe:
Going back for more now.............. Until next post.................
ps: I sure hope the administrators figure out what the heck is wrong with the "post inline photo" system! This post took me
1-1/2 hours, finally having to upload photos to thumbnails, then manually inserting them into the body of the text where I wanted them to go, all after having to change from standard editor to advanced in the general settings. Sheese, what a pain in the #$$.
