KNOCK KNOCK Who's there? 12/31/23

[ModernMiner]

So yesterday I continued my door knocking to get permissions to some early 1900's homes. I ran across a 1910 house that looked like one of those old yards with huge oaks, magnolias, and boxwoods. The elderly lady was very nice and told me to have at it and come back any time. Music to my ears!
The house has large side yards so this place should keep me busy for two or three more trips.
This is what I dug yesterday on my first try.
*10 Wheats ranging from 1928-1945
* 189? IH penny
*A 13 star 2-pc button missing the back (Any idea whos face that is on this button?)
*A small metal dome type button
*Vintage "FUN-n-GAMES" brass token. (Google search has it listed from Youngstown, Ohio)
*Hew weight, pocket knife, lipstick container, brass spray nozzle, accordian reed.

Once again, no silver yet.

It's only 39 degrees today so I will be going back on Tuesday.
Thanks for l@@king, and HAPPY NEW YEARS fellow treasure hunters.

Thank you Blossom. I learned from the best.

That 13 star button threw me off. I thought it was an old coin because it was heavier and full of dirt in back when I dug it. I thought maybe it was an old nickel. It was not to be. Oh well. I'll keep trying.

Well done on the permission.
Your button

Is probably the front of a collar stud.
Different but the same idea.

Nice catch, you might find the stud part.
That spray nozzle probably still works even.
I use a recovery for watering, easy to clean and fix.
Best of luck going back for another hunt.

Thanks for that info. 👍 Hopefully the back will pop up.
You are correct on those spray nozzles. I’ve dug four of them in yards this year and they still work. Quality made back then.
Have a great week. Send me some gold coin mojo. 🤪

Oh I wish it was so easy, been trying to send a good silver Dollar mojo to the reflection for 55 yrs-sick and tired of the all the false promises.

Nice assortment! Good luck on your next trip out.

That looks like a fun day ....the portrait sort of resembles George Mason but I'm sure it looks like a lot of colonials..lol

Congrats on a promising new permission!
I think those hose nozzles are my most common find in yards, other than coins. I bet I have 25-30 of them in 4 years of detecting.

Those nozzles are popping up a lot. I cleaned one up and use it on my hose now. Vintage. 👍

I thought maybe I had a “V” nickel. I saw those stars. Darn it.
We’ll get em next time.
