Fantastic 1st hunt with OldDude for 2017! Took a SEAT!

[cjon455]

Got out with olddude today, 1st time for 2017. We went north for a bit of permission seeking. I only spoke to 3 people and got a yes on 2. 1st place was ok for me got a buff and 7 wheats and the thing on the long chain. Dave got a nice Holed Large Cent there. Went up the road a bit and scored a nice 1860s permission. I got the 1886 seated dime (2nd seated in 2 weeks) and 1916 barber dime about 10 feet from each other. Also got 4 indians including a 1859 fatty and 1 wheat there plus 2 old rings that the gold plating wore off. Finished with 2 silvers (10fty), 8 wheats (50 fty), 4 indians (6 fty) and a buffalo plus the other odds and ends. One of my favorite finds besides the silver is the intact crotal bell. All in all a nice fun day of digging, thanks for coming along dave, it was a blast! Thanks for looking and Happy hunting!!

You & Old Dude had a great hunt, of course I haven't seen what he found yet. That long chain thing is really interesting. Any idea what it was for?

Thanks alot, he grabbed a holed large cent, 1830 something. The chain item I got I believe is a pocket watch chain

It do seem that he has become too hoighty-toighty to associate with us peons anymore.

I don't know about a pocket watch chain, but I'm just not sure. In one of the pictures, that rectangular end of the chain looks like it would clip over a belt. And the other end, in this picture:



I drew an arrow to the part which may swival inward, for like adding keys. Maybe this is a key chain? Just pondering here

Im not 100 percent sure, that arrow u pointed at does open up, I think the attached link is similar

Oh....I dunno...seems pretty obvious to me.

 

[DeepseekerADS]

Yes, very very similar. But that angular shape on the "swivel (?) end, I can't imagine a pocket watch fitting there.

Pretty interesting item eh? Maybe a forever mystery! Great find that chain too!

Thanks again, it's becoming a more interesting find the more I research it!
