First Post For 2007. Mystery Relic For You All

[JerV3]

Hey everyone,

Finally getting the chance to get my last few weeks worth of finds up. Haven't been out alot but got a few good trips in here and there. The weather just got bad though here and now I'm stuck in.

I had a really nice site I wanted to hunt to. But it's gonna have to wait until it warms up some now. I've just been going to a bunch of sites and trying them out.

Nothing great but enough to keep me going. Most of the finds came out of a old park I decided to check out. They did a good job hunting it. But they never get it all.

I know somewhere in this park is a good nook. I just have to find it. Got the first few silvers on the yr though. Got a 64 washington to start it off.

I got a really cool mystery relic for you all to take a guess at before I send the other pics through showing what it is. Everyone but PBK take a guess. Your the man PBK and would figure it out in one guess. I know you lol.

I am more into the unique relics any more than the coins. I do love to find old coins. But it's those cool relics that keep me going. I can learn alot about them.

It will be the first pic in the start of the clean items. I am sure someone out there has seen one before. I am guessing it's from the 40's and 50's. Maybe older don't know though.

Here is a break down of the finds. I am not a master yet on the camers so the pics aren't the best. I could do alot better with the scanner. But I'll never get good with the camera if I don't use it.

I got 7 wheats. A 64 washington and a 54 rosie. 1 1883 indian. 1 1888 better date V-nickle. 2 Old tokens one dated 1918 and the other a 1904.

I also got a really neat tag. Here is what it reads. No. 142 Rome Iron Works. N.G Hard. Must be some type of i.d tag I guess. I couldn't find any research on that co. So I don't know anything about it.

I also got a few newer gaming tokens. All in all a decent ammount of finds for the little bit of time I spent in the field lately. Hope you all like the pics.

Thanks alot everyone.

Pbk, Hope you didn't take that in the wrong way. It was supposed to be a compliment to your knowledge. I knew you could get it. I wanted to see if the avg joe would know. Thought it may take them longer than it did to figure it out.


Lance is doing well. He still hunts with me from time to time. We have been out a few times in the past month. He found a cannon ball one day while we were out. A 3 pounder we think. It came from a old foundation.

He also dug up a civil war eagle breast plate. At a old tavern site. He has been having scanner problems. That's why he hasn't posted.

Weather got really bad here. So I can't go out today and hunt. I actually had today off basically. I had to just go out to my office for about 2 hrs this mourning.

Glad you all think the pics are looking good. Hope to have a good yr.

Jer,

nice find.

Sort of see how things develop.

Now they have ones that one part is a comb
while it folds into the second part which is
a brush.

I have no use for either
