Hi All,
Hunted a bit by the shore, and at the Shoemakers site.
Got the platter and heavy oval picture frame out of the mud.
I'm guessing the platter dates fairly early by its simple decoration.
first quarter 19th Century
Also my first 'Junk' ring. (at least it's copper!)
A fancy little pin, nit comb (mousache comb?, 'Salmon Falls' is a very local & common name ), and a few whatsits from the shoemaker.
I thought tick season was over! They swarmed me out there

Nice digs H 8) and the ticks are the worse I have ever experienced here in Jersey 8) I have been burning them up with a torch

Nice ticks!

Found some similar shaped frames in my collections,
the pic of the Native Brave is paper, colorized, and marked on back 299
Anyone familiar with this style of photograph?
Maybe 1899?
Also wondering about the item on right in 2nd photo, it has a swinging holder mechanism on right side
Thanks for looking! HH

Very cool platter. How big is it? Is this something they threw away? I'd polish that baby up and use it. Neat finds!

You can have the ticks. :P

Very nice platter !
In U.S.A have a serious problem with ticks, it appears that plagues too serious, here there is less and only stick to some animals ... but not quite.

More nice diggs Herbie. I laughed when I saw the hem weight. I found tons of those the first year of detecting but haven't found one of them in the last 2 years . I like the serving dish as well. Keep digging!

Nice! Amazing that the platter handle is not damaged or bent.

many years ago I got Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a tick. As close to death as I care to get. Three words: I HATE TICKS

Thanks All!
Looking forward to all the posts from this weekends digs
Sir Digs, the handle was a figure 8 when recovered, some heat and careful bending straightened it pretty well
