Nice new permission!

Time to detect has been rare these days. I love when I get a free day to swing a detector and end up making some good finds. I ended up with five indians and 1 silver. I sure hope there is some older silver next time although I like the silver Rosies too. The buffalo nickel is a 1917 although it is quite toasted. You guys have any advice on cleaning up nickels? I always seem to wreck mine.I think my favorite of the finds is the sprocket lock. Now if only I can find the key.

Okay, an update on the bull charm. I found online that it was a promotional watch fob for the bull durham tobacco companies around 1910-1920. Cool stuff.

I hope you are right. I was told that the site has been detected before. Hopefully my CTX will unmask the things the guy left behind.

Those nickels look great! For jeffersons a rock tumbler would work just fine, I would just hate to throw a nice shield nickel in one of those [emoji3]

The little brass skeleton key lock is high on the way cool scale. Tribe of Indians, Buffalo, and a silver dime is a great hunt. Not to mention a Bull. Fantastic!

Nicely done! Congrats and HH

Very cool brass Sprocket padlock!

Congratulations on a very nice day. Great finds. My advice on cleaning a nickel is don't. I do not clean any coins more than just warm soapy water regardless of what anyone says. The first thing you see on any coin appraisal is " improperly cleaned ".

Very cool brass Sprocket padlock!

That was my thoughts as well. Nice lock!

 

[Silvermonkey]

That is a very cool padlock! Congrats!

Love those indians!!! on our nickles we let them sit in lemon juice for 30 minutes and have had luck. We have also frozen vinegar for 30 minutes, pour out the un-frozen liquid (discard it) and placed the nickel in the frozen pieces. Add a little hydrogen peroxide and the date and detail came right through!!! Can take a few minutes or couple hours. Check youtube and you can find some videos. good luck!!

Sweet lock. Kinda sought after too. Made by Slaymaker Barry Co. (1890's - 1900ish). Congrats.
