NV Ghost Town Finds

[oldmxrat]

Just getting around to posting my finds from last Sunday as I had to go on an emergency road trip. No doubt you've all seen the $5 gold coin my friend found by now.
No gold for me, but a big silver!

The Sterling souvenir spoon is from another ghost town over three hours away from this ghost town. Kinda odd.
The detail on it is very cool.
The purple glass piece is just the bottom of a bottle, but it was too neat to leave behind.
The pocket watch crystal is a first for me. I find pocket watches and pieces regularly, but the crystal is always gone.
The harmonica reed plate has more reeds than any I've found before.

I'll get busy with the electrolysis tank on some of these items and update when I'm done. There's writing on the two fancy clothing pieces but I can't make it out without further cleaning.

If you noticed the frog on the spoon and thought it seemed an odd image for the motif of the spoon, it's because Rhyolite was in the Bullfrog Mining District.

Hoping to get out ghost towning with my buddy Miguel again soon!

That round purple glass looks like an old mason jar lid.

Great finds. A day like that for me would be very satisfying. Congratulations!

That spoon alone makes a hunt very satisfying. Congrats

Always like the condition of the relics you get.

I sure thought it was until I picked it up. Just a bottle bottom.

You'll see that soon you'll find a gold coin. But all your findings are great. And so we're going to plan to go to the ghost town I told you about.
