🥇 BANNER So I found a sword!!!

[JustKeepDigging]

Found it in the woods about 3 feet deep. Found using my Whites Industrial PRL-1 which goes pretty deep so I use it for going hunting in the woods. I honestly thought it was an old pipe of some sort but I guess not! It's marked "1851" "Mitteh" anyone have any info on that? Had no luck online.

This banner find leaves a lot to be desired after reading the op's two posts here that obviously aren't up to par when it comes to believability- http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/426036-grandpa-gave-me-these.html http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/412491-bought-backpack-found-something-else.html Just saying.....

That's funny - the serial numbers from the backpack and grandpa are the same. Lol.

-Happy Hunting!

I take that back, I wouldn't regret it, Because I would have taken the pics,
no matter what condition the sack was in. it was part of the find

Didn't the OP say he was a 21-year-old college kid?

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt... I've been curious all my life, but when I was a 21-year-old college kid, I can't say for certain that I would've taken a pic of a rotted sack.

I would've busied myself in moseying on over to the girls' dorm to show off my sword.

(See what I did there? Yeah, I'm a writer. Sue me.)

Ok everyone first off, Id like to apologize for two reasons. I go to school and work 7 days of the week so sorry for not being active...Haven't had anytime for anything to be honest. I see a bunch of you really want to see the sack but I'm sorry to inform you but it's long gone. It was super muddy, sticky, and completely falling apart by just touching it. I did my best to clean it and check for any info as some of you recommend, but I had no where to keep that nasty thing. Living with my parents they didn't want it inside, and living in an apartment there was no where to keep it. My personal opinion though, I think it was buried like 30 years ago or something. I found it next to some abandoned houses in the
woods that have been there since I was a baby (currently 21). Sorry for not being around, but some of you guys are a little harsh!!!

I regret even posting this find...

First off thanks for Replying...

I find your 30 year Guess believable.
That would have been around 1984.
? Were the homes abandoned in the early 1990's
? What is your def, of Wood's
? When Do you think the abandon houses were built.

In your orig, post it sounded like you found it in the middle of No-where.

Anyway
Nice Sword.

I'm Board Today Soooo..

I been doing some Detective Work.

I agree OP your last 2 posts DON'T make you look Good.

It seem's 'most' of your previous posts were pic Heavy ie, wanting to know about Bullets & shell Casings & such ; that's why I wonder about ' no pic's of the sack' or even more of the Sword .

I seriously feel bad about You getting "Jacked" for your Detector & other Stuff.
&
Hope R.Dannesk Got an Honorable Mention for His Kindness

I suppose that's all .

Good Luck

Davers....

Awesome find!

3 feet deep in the "woods" of Jupiter Fl., simply amazing.

 

[DiggityDiggity]

I mean, it's a neat reproduction sword but man, to find an old dirty sack intact from the 1800's? Banner indeed!
