This is the sequel to Post #10. Pic 1 site featured tons of square nails and other rusty stuff. Been here before but hit it with a different machine this time. I love the huge skeleton key. The hex nut is a Schrader valve stem nut. Must have been for a large truck since it's larger than all the others I've found. The Sterling ring doesn't have anything on the face of it. Never got monogrammed? 1929 quarter, 1923 and 1928D wheats, and advertising thimble. Pic 2 is from a site close to home. Nothing overly exciting except for the weird key and porcelain object in a setting. I find lots of the brass item above the belt buckle. What are they? Pic 3 was a short hunt in a tiny area where a house of uncertain age once stood. Pic 4: The silver ring has my attention. The eagle looks like a very early American eagle motif. Anybody have any ideas about it? If monogrammed, it wore off long ago. Pic 5: Spent some time working in different locations of West Texas. Found these objects in a flood control ditch, in a small town: 1918 half, wheats from the 1920s, and a circa 1925 Hyvis Motor Oil token. Pic 6 & 7 are from a couple of weeks working in El Paso: a couple of construction sites and curb strips: circa 1935 Green River Whisky token, 2 local cigar tokens, 1900S, 1905S, 1910S Barber dimes, 1928S Merc, a 1930s-1950s Pontiac Chief of the Sixties token, 1902 V nickel, 1920D Buffalo, 1914D & 1939S wheat, 1893 Mexican large cent, 1906 Mexican 2 cent, WWII Good Conduct Medal, 1875-1902 Eagle button, part of a Coast Artillery Corps bracelet?, monogrammed "H" gold ring, piece of a ring that reads "Mexican Border 1916", 3 stones in settings, and a printers block featuring 2 plumbers named Fix and Fit in a bathtub. Lots of bullets and cartridges from all ages. A fun way to spend my evenings. This gets me to June 2022.
