Vacation finds

Last week my family and I went to our cottage in northern Michigan for our summer vacation. I have found many great items in the past but this year was a bit sparse but we still had a lot of fun. I managed one lone silver Rosie which was found in a gravel parking lot. Also got a very nice 1881 indian. My oldest boy found his oldest coin an 1893 indian...he was very excited about that.



As for the relics I found the side plate to an old pocket knife (I think anyways) that was in 3 pcs. My youngest boy found a shot musket ball and I found a smaller one. He also found a pretty neat old square nail.

The Navy button is a 2 pc with a steel back that is nearly all rusted up. Does anyone know how old it might be? I'm thinking early 1900s.




Thanks for looking!

It's great that your son found the old IH penny. Some neat old finds too.

Great finds, congratulations.

Lots of cool stuff, nice finds like that keep the hobby interesting.

The spoon looks like, what we call here, a sugarspoon. For the sugarpot.

Some nice digs Bucknut. That pocket knife piece might actually be part of an old straight razor. Cool stuff!

My Son found 4 Washington quarters in one hunt and I still could not get him interested in the Hobby.. Glad to see your kids have an interest. Great finds WD
