Howdy Folks!
I went out yesterday and got myself a nice clutch of clad. Sunday was my 2nd
century hunt in a row, duplicating what I did on Saturday.
However, there were some minor differences on Sunday. I found a 10k gold
earring for starters, and my last stop was at a vacant house where the lawn
and top 3 inches of soil had been pulled out. I figured that should make some
old coins easy to get at.
There wasn't much, but I did find a 1941 wheat penny, a 1919 wheatie,
and a buffalo nickel that I couldn't date. Invited it out for dinner and dancing,
but still no date!
Among other things is a thing with ornate scrolling on the ends, and I think
it might be the side panel from a knife. Another oddity is a peculiar chunk of
metal with a hole at the top. Wifey thinks it might be a fishing weight. It does
have some heft to it. Anyhow, I'm including photos, so if you have a better
guess, please chip in!
Blessings,
