Hunting Around Nashville

[tennessee digger]

In the summer time we usually just hunt construction sites in and around Nashville. These are a few of the things that I've dug lately. The watch fob is heavy silver plated brass. The seated coin is worn bad but it's 188? The "cut" coin is a Spanish real. The eagle device in the second picture went on either a drum or an old banjo and is called a tensioner. I always like digging a variety of things but my true passion is hunting for civil war relics which we do in the fall and winter so for now, I'll continue just hunting Nashville. Thanks for looking.....tennessee digger.

Quindy....as far as I know it was a liquid dye and I'm guessing from the 1930's (Julia found it) and the Pepsi bottle is actually from the early 1940's which I would have never guessed. Neither is worth hardly anything but always fun to find.

You didn't find any silver moustache dye, did you? I hear they are quite rare as someone bought all known bottles to exist!

Nah Old Dude, didn't find any of that but of all things, that is what DMan uses on his moustache. He started using it in the 2nd grade!
