Silver handle! Coal camp finds.

[diggingthe1]

Went out for a few with my dog before the snow. She loves all the attention from the family lately. I found this in a Colorado ghost town. I thought it was alluminum untill I cleaned it off and saw the Sterling mark. I'm still getting tricked. The other pieces are from the coal camps in Southern Colorado. The ford piece is 4". The kiln brick is from melting coal into coke. It's huge with a number stamped into it. It doesn't fit together but close. Happy Hunting!

Thank you washingtonian, silver is so rare for me! Thanks for the post Tommy! My bank still gives out cookies, but nothing like the banks they used to. I keep waiting for someone to dig a car bank with coins!! You all stay safe as well!
