Coin drought ends with Big Silver

[Mr. Digger]

Some ok relics recently, but I've been on a serious coin drought for weeks. I finally broke through this weekend with my second Walker. I scratched it....oh well. It came out of a dry sandy field but was almost jet black with tarnish so I decided to take some baking soda too it to pretty it up a bit.

wow, sweet finds, and nice coins on top of it all! Looks like you had a great day! GL and HH!

Nice big silver. The field must have been a spot where people congregated for some reason. Looks like a small lock in pic 5 above the Victorian piece. Is the Victorian piece jewelry? Pic #4 looks like a lantern part, but I haven't found any with that 'crown' style.

Love that big silver. Exciting when those big coins roll out of a plug

Yeah, it's pretty cool. Dr. Peter Farhrney & Sons, Chicago. Late 1800's. Here are a link with better pictures and info:

This 9" tall bottle contained Forni's Alpenkrauter Blutbeleber, which is roughly translated into "Mountain Flower Blood Vitalizer". Dr. Peter Fahrney began production of this in 1869 and moved his business to an elaborate factory in Chicago in the 1890's. He and his sons produced this Blutbeleber based on an early family recipe, as well as other patent medicines.

Great finds. I like the relics. I don't find a ton but lately I have been digging a lot more off signals. Amazing what turns up on those 12-22-26's. Nice finds WD

Nice coins and relics. Congrats on the Walker. I've yet to find my first half dollar this year.

[Restoring Your Finds]

Nice finds. Up to this day, I still haven't found that half dollar. I like the IH very much too. It's in a great shape.

Nice variety of stuff. I think you have a horse rosette or concho just above the spoon. Congrats
