Got a 3rd One of These and Some Other Stuff.

[Kurios1]

Howdy Folks. Back to the sandbox field for another round. Try as I might I had cherry picking for a coin in mind. I just ain't any good at cherry picking and ended up with another bucket of iron anyhow. One really cool find for me was the old brass horse tack rivet with a bunch of old leather still hanging on. Never found one with this much leather still there. I got a pair of nice brass buckles. Love brass buckles. The usual brass shrapnel and a couple screws. Model T hub cap which is pretty much destroyed. I found one of those oval brass thingies with the four tabs on the back. Now I know what they are as I found one with the turn button intact. Really working my butt off for a coin to date this sight back 150 years wasn't panning out. Perhaps the sand and iron rich environment is making it difficult for me.

I switched locations to try and change things up and did manage to recover my third Illinois Licensed Chauffeur tag. 1932 for the year. So I got skunked on coins but, eked out a nice keeper with the IL License tag. Had a huge dinner with some of my treasure hunting buddies after words and my stomach still hurts. Going hunting with a buddy tomorrow. I hope we both tear it up somewhere good. Thanks for stopping by. Kurios1

Hoarders never run out of room for their stuff. Well, there ain't a flat spot in my home that isn't covered with some sort of "treasure".

Thanks Mr. Tired. The relics keep me entertained but, finding some old coinage to go along with the history of the area I am hunting is my goal. The Illinois Licensed Chauffeur tag was an "unexpected" surprise which salvaged the day.

Thanks PJ. I have been finding those oval thingies for years and never knew what they were. I guess a "fancy" grommet sort of thing? The IL Licensed Chauffeur tag salvaged the day but, I still would like some old coinage to date the sights I am hunting. Maybe today.

Your welcome on the ID of the fasteners, something retained from boating days. I feel the same way at times when out, that I need a coin to make it a good hunt.
