Champion 6 Lever Lock / Tokens / Coins Back To 1864

[floodplaindetector]

Finds are from the last 3 weeks at researched old city parks and schools. Machines used were Minelab E-Trac and Nokta Makro Anfibio Multi.
The old padlock was a nice relic to find. I found patents for that style as far back as the late 1870s.

6 Buffalo Nickels Including a 1918-D which has some value

Great finds! I am done for the season. I just can't walk in the mud and cold anymore.

Again, great job! Love the padlock and big token. Gold wedding band and sterling 23? Your IHs come out of the ground in great shape.

That lock is outstanding Dave! As usual, your 2-3 week hauls are amazing. Seems your new arsenal of detectors are complimenting the minelab just fine!

Nice haul - I've found a few of those older Locks - they look great on display !

Howdy floodplaindetector--

You scored some excellent finds! Congratulations on your research and results. You might want to check the diagnostics on your 1864 Indian Head Cent. An 1864-L, even if the L is obliterated from wear or corrossion can still be identified by the a pointed bust and the proximity of the tip to the top of the 1. Best of luck and...

Happy Hunting!

The ring isn't marked but could be 10K. I haven't tested it.
The 23 looks to b just plated.

Awesome haul as usual Dave! Love that padlock and that early Indian. Hope you can still get out for a little while longer. We have some snow hitting us tonight with 5-9 inches but it should be gone in a day or two. Just in time to get back out there.

Thanks Greg.
We got out a little last weekend close to home. Got up to a balmy 30 degrees and I got back to 1905.
Were done now. That big storm dumped over a foot of snow on us.
