An "ODD Variety" day at the carnival grounds !

[CoinandRelicMan]

Things started out weird found some reading glasses, they were ran over and under the grass, in picture shows my partial restoration attempts. Then later I found a cell phone battery , thought those were supposed to be disposed of properly, head scratcher, hey they might be worth a bit at a recycling place maybe? Then I found some more odd variety a tiny very heavy for its size typewriter that said "Fossil" on it, no clue on it anyone know? Maybe a charm but seems so danged heavy , more head scratching. Then I wandered into a coin spill 3 pennies and a nickel not bad sounded like one big signal must have been there a while. Then I found a "Love" ring think has a little remaining silver-plate, has some text inside but cannot read it, think it is from the late 60s probably. It was surrounded by some old can slaws and read out like an ate up Zincolin on the conductive reading. Then I found someones lost Porsche Carrera GT looks like a late model version, they need to quit burying them in the grass lol ! Any info on the Fossil item would be nice, think some guy posted some odd bit of jewelry last night was a hot-dog charm he said, maybe made by the same company it looked rather similar in paint etc.



Thanks for looking into the carnival of odd variety post and may all your hunts turn out great !!

Fossil used to make typewriters...now they are fossils. This page shows the closest that I could find to your fob: ( What to do with an Old Typewriter )

Nice thanks for the link BullBat looks like part of my typewriter got left in the soil maybe , hmm might be able to find it later, still wonder why it is so heavy , is there lead or gold in it ?

Isn't that the same Fossil company that makes watches and small leather goods?

Hi Ronson thanks for the link, at this point I am wondering if theres a whole charm bracelet in the ground still with the rest of the charm that broke off?? Will have to go back for sure soon!

That is a mixed bag

Not many people can say that they went detecting and found a typewriter. For that matter, I don't think anyone can claim they even found a typewriter.

Thanks for all the replies and information! I went back and the only item of interest I found was a turquoise color painted rose shaped earing and some clad coinage. Did get a considerable amount of the can slaw. I think there is probably more goodies to be found out there and the site merits another few hunts later on when rain occurs.
