Hey diggers,
Yesterday (Sunday) I drove up to a nearby town to do some door knocking. I got 2 yesses and 2 no's. The 2 yesses were both circa 1900 homes with decent sized yards that looked very original. My best find was a vintage brooch that was 8 inches deep. It rang up as 09-20. In fact the numbers wouldn't budge no matter which direction I swept from. The brooch was gold plated but that is all but gone now. I believe the flowers are made of Lucite, an early form of hard plastic.

Not much in the silver department but hey, not every trip is a record setter! Thanks for looking and HH, Dave.

It's a cool piece Dave! :cool:
And no SDHOS!:yahoo:Saved by a Rosie! :notworthy:
A couple of IHs, and a Buff too.
No a record setter, but not a total bust either.
Congrats on the keeper! :grin:


Not all of us can dig SLQs everytime we go out.....unlike some other person we know.;) :lol:

Man, you are getting out there almost every day to detect. I wish I had that kinda time. That is a nice brooch. Lucite was just a little later than Bakelite. Surprised no silver with some really early wheats. Maybe when you get back to the site they will pop up.

The big key was the 2 yes's. Could it be possible that instead of Lucite it could be bakealite?

:congrats:on all those keepers.
