Thanks for looking! GL out there.

31 wheats
Model T dash placard

That’s some really neat stuff there. I especially love that green Indian head. Looks like a pretty successful hunt!

That was a nice dig. I love those old Barbers.

That was a nice dig. I love those old Barbers. Is it a New Orleans mint?

Wow, I'm really impressed. That's a great haul. Congrats on the dimes, wheats and that old token!

Man you did well. Five silvers and that check tag are really nice.

Thanks DetecTom. The IHP was in poor shape but good enough to see a date. Sure was a greenie to be sure.

Thanks Hawks. I really enjoyed digging this permission since I'm fairly sure it hadn't been hunted before.

Thanks beepbleep. This was a no mint mark Barber.

Thanks washingtonian. The wheats were pretty much toast, though some dates remained. I kinda like the old clay door knob. It had the metal inside to find and dig that one.

Man you did well. Five silvers and that check tag are really nice.

Thanks Johncoho. I always enjoy your posts and finds here on Tnet. GL in Arizona this year.

Thank you... I found something made out of copper that has those EXACT markings on it, but mien was only around one inch long. Maybe it is from a bracelet

Thanks Kevin75931, yeah, I'm thinking a homemade bracelet. Not really sure, but interesting pattern on it.

Thanks Tuberale, the placard would be the piece of chewed up aluminium up top second over. Says 1926 on it.

Nice!!! Congrats!!!

Thanks Digger RJ.

Nice bunch of finds.

I like the 50 cents it cost to replace the check tag at the power plant. Wonder if they paid it and got a replacement tag?

Thanks PullTabPete, I guess we will never know if he paid the 50 cents or not.

I love the brass bracelet the history behind the (TEPCO) time check token!
If you were able to straighten the bracelet, then tumble it you could easily wear it again.

"The Tennessee Electric Power Company (TEPCO) was the largest private-sector electrical power monopoly in Tennessee’s early twentieth-century history. It was formed on May 27, 1922, when the Tennessee Power Company, Chattanooga Railway & Light, and the Chattanooga, and Tennessee River Power Company merged. TEPCO was the largest and most important of the early Tennessee electrical power companies. The result of TEPCO’s formation was essentially that everyday life for many Tennesseans began to be characterized by a full spectrum of heretofore unknown household conveniences made possible by electricity. Moreover, work altered through the introduction of water pumps, electric dairy equipment, and electric-powered cabinetmaking and mining equipment."
