Artifact Hunt century old artifacts found in DC

[Fossil_adult]

There was a lot found on this particular outing. The artifacts on the top were all found in DC, while the ones on the bottom are Virginia. There were a lot of dolls found this go around, which is creepy, but it’s over a century old so I’m going to keep them. Some really nice bottle tops were found as well, a cool stone carved plate (small), a couple of Avon white glass jars, and really cool buckle to a piece of clothing. The buttons and electrical components were cool as well, and quite a few of the electrical artifacts had the dates printed on them. I think they’re old spark plug pieces, which are really common to find.

The full haul:

The ceramic doll head is a cool find, as is the plate and the buckle. Just a really nice hunt in general.

Some of the dates that I saw on this spit fire Mitchells were 1898 - 1902 - 1903

The dates on this particular spark plug were 1911. This one was in really good condition with the copper color still preserved.

This was a really fun outing as usual, I love to get more artifacts. I’m really hoping to get around to metal detecting at some point but until then, I’ll enjoy the trash I get!

the last pic looks like a fuse to me

I have those same doll legs , recovered in Fredericksburg Va around 1985

I actually found a fuse box but didn’t keep it. Idk if it’s worth a lot but I took some pictures of it and if it is I’ll go back for it.

it's worth scrap value , about 10 cents a pound where I live.

Like those bottle tops and your other finds are all cool too! Excellent hunt you had!
