Finds From An Old Dump

Well, my friend Conito@55 got the gold, but it was fun to see him get another one!
I was rewarded with a nice clay pipe bowl, a 1941 Nevada chauffeur badge, a couple of bail seals, a cute little bottle stopper, a nice bunch of quartz crystals and the usual buttons and such.

Here's the badge after a dip in the electrolysis bath:

Until next time...
Happy hunting!

That pipe is very cool. Used to see the white pieces in plowed fields growing up….didnt know what they were until a few years ago.

I know, right?!
At first I thought he was just lucky, but now I realize that he's just really that good with a detector.
And actually, he was very excited. He certainly doesn't take anything for granted!

Buddy, what happened to the shield?

It fell into pieces in electrolysis. There were no markings or design on it.
