    went out today , a lot of clad and one indian

    Great weather in Upstate NY- searched a small bank on the edge of parking lot where there was an 1880 city mission. Got nothing old but oddly enough over $6.00 in recent clad. None of it was underground, its as if someone just tossed handful of change everywhere. Its too small to sled on, and no...

    Whites Headphone Wiring

    Restoring a pair of Whites phones as a soldering project to do with my teenage son. This has a separate control for each ear. The two loose long black ones I suspect go directly to the speakers. I cant tell where the short yellow and blue one went. These come from the main cable entering the...

    Consumer Safety would hate this ring

    Guys, here's a ring I found earlier this year at a park I find old stuff at all the time. At first I thought it a scent, or sachet, like the smell would come out the front holes. However cleaning the back i see the spinning wheel and figure it whistles or makes a siren. I got the blade spinning...

    My Civil War Token

    Somewhat of a repost, here is a post of my "Not one Cent" token i found near a cellar hole up north here, the site perhaps of a lumber camp. Ive found large cents near there also and a Gratia Coin. I will have to find the coin among all my stuff to get the exact date again, but I believe it was...

    Draped bust? opinions welcomed

    This penny is driving me crazy. It is definitely a large cent, I can read the ONE CENT on the reverse and I swear the one and the cent are slightly higher vertically than on center (does that make sense?), leaving room beneath for where that bow like structure with the 1/100 would be. I cant...

    New Year Silver and a cool token

    New Years Day got the silver ring close to a sidewalk edge. Ive seen the park tractor it is large and I bet bent the ring. The 2 mercs and token with several wheaties, I got today. Forty degrees out in upstate NY. In the sun was easy to dig, in the shade about a 2 inch freeze layer- which would...

    Cellar hole has promising finds

    Folks, i revisited the estate, 1800, where I found two large cents (1840's) by the main house in the past year. They have a foundation in the woods they claim is earlier and was the site of the shoe makers site. The foundation is full or metal and bottles about 2 feet deep. Close to the hole, I...

    Nice IH and RR Baggage tag?

    After a fruitless day at a woods site, for the last hour of daylight retreated to a home Ive done before, neighbor just getting home, I jokingly yell you really want me to detect your place right? And he says sure do, alright! (1880 house). I think its been detected before, because all I got was...

    Same defunct beach surprises me again

    Went out to the same former beach stretch that I went to the day before yesterday, where I got 7 wbacks, 2 v nickles and the indian head penny. Im not sure I will ever be able to read the date on the penny or the other nickle- buried in that grit and moisture they are green and encased in a...

    fairly good day

    Hit the old defunct beach up our way. Although heavily hunted for years today I got 7 wheat backs, 2 V nickles and an Indian head penny. Over the last two years got 3 silver dimes, i silver quarter there and other wheat backs. They all tend to date around the 20-40's so the V nickles and Indian...

    Musket ball (?) question

    found this in a farm field. It is lead and almost a half an inch across, weighs a ton, would wreak obvious carnage passing through you. Where certain musket balls that big? Also you cant see it in the pic but there is a flattened ridge running around the ball as if there was a rough seam that...

    Dry spell broke

    After several months of rather regular finds, today got an 1828 large cent in good condition. Got it at a site where last year I got a large cent under a sidewalk paver at an old estate. It was about 15 feet from that one -dont know how I missed it as have gone over that place a number of times...

    Big Brother to Johns Large Skeleton Key

    Here is a key , almost 6 inches long I found in the ground at a very old historic house site. The house is still used and has been over the years a hotel, general store, bakery and other things. There is a ball room upstairs etc. Digging with permission exposing the the round portion, at first...

    Farm Token

    Found this near a creek up north here. It says Barlett Farm. I dont think its a tag from fruit a tree, like they had for roses- but I dont know. There where some early folks with farms of that name in the area. It is copper. I suppose they came in all shapes- is this a classic token shape? Im...

    Help on this Military button

I cannot for the life of me make out some letters on the back, I think it says Mark or Tank. I dont that is shank, it looks more like Tank. Also could the mark on the...

    No third silver, but hey got this!

    The old 1880s house was a bust for old coins, the soil and grass was luscious. I think it had all been replaced over the years. Anyway did get this nice ring along with clad and junk. Inside it is marked WXXX. Chat on the internet relates that is probably a mark used by the JR Wood Co...
