My Relics from a NV Ghost Town

[oldmxrat]

These are the finds I made yesterday at a Nevada mining ghost town. Not much in the way of coins, only two wheat cents, 1911 and 1940.
The milkglass jar was down about 6 inches. The wood and steel piece center, near the top is odd. Maybe a paintbrush?
The aluminum lid on the right says "Mariner". No idea what that was from.

Nice!!! Looks like a productive day! Love the matching pair of overall or suspender clips.

You know it hasn't been detected when those suspender pieces start showing up. That must be a fun place to hunt. I bet it's cooking down there!

Nice variety of finds. I have found a couple of those "Shirley President" clips myself on different hunts. Congrats of them all. Thanks for sharing.

Some history regarding your Shirley President pieces which were produced by the C.A. Edgarton Manufacturing Company (opened in 1882, became known as the President Suspender Company around 1900) in Shirley, Massachusetts (hence the name).

It's a Levi's rivet and says "L.S.& Co. S.F."

Not sure, some kind of decorative piece, but very flimsy. Too delicate for a buckle I think.
