Found A Valluable Rare Coin and My First Buffalo Head Yesterday Metal Detecting :yikes:

[John-Edmonton]

Met up with my buddy yesterday for a woods hunt. I got some loot and some interesting relics and a low mintage coin.

My eyes locked onto this old buffalo head. A rare find also. I did a no-no with it. When I got home, I carried this head by the horn into the kitchen where my wifey was, to show her my catch .

You know the rest of the story.......

Here are some miscellaneous finds. I will research them at a later date......

I have always enjoyed finding old vintage makeup compacts. The brass one I dug up on the side of a hill by an old tree stump has some beautiful designs on it. I can just picture a women making herself look spiffy on the hillside where I found it.

A couple more condom containers found off the main trails. The 3 Merry Widows containers are collectible and have fetched $50.00 or more on Ebay.

The best find of the day......a hard to find 1922 penny!

Some are in the Foil area, and some have been used. Now that Buffalo Head hope it wasn't ruined.

I found one of those Merry Widow containers years ago. I didn't realize they were valuable. I still have it in my relic collection. I've also found several compacts. What is the writing on the rectangular pendant? I assume it is some sort of writing. I also like the designs of older Canadian coins (and U.S. too). Not too many modern designs can rival them. Looks like it was a fun hunt!

Congrats on that old penny.
Good assortment of finds also:

That rectangular piece has writing in Arabic-language. I am guessing it's probably a prayer. I will have it ID'd at work next week. One of the nurses I work with can read/write Arabic.

 

[John-Edmonton]

Thanks Joel.....It's been a good year for old coins. Got snow coming tonite.

 

[John-Edmonton]

I am in the same boat....pretty soon it will be just snow hunts.

 

[John-Edmonton]

That head has been around for some time. I a doubt if the animal was actually killed in that spot though. It was probably taken from somewhere else and dropped off there.

Likewise. I've already went on one snow hunt last Sunday. The snow is all gone now and the ground is soft so will hit a park today since it is a US holiday. Will be very interested to see the interpretation of the Arabic writing.

I was thinking the same thing John...Prayer on that rectangular piece...

Na. Just some numb skulls.
Actually, a friend of mine is a civil engineer for the local state road authority, and he was taking a new junior female engineer out to a job. (being a country depot, they cover a lot of area.) (She is a girl from Sydney and just out of Uni.) They happened to hit a very large kangaroo and it slid down the passenger side of the car with her getting a perfect profile of the roo's head as it slide on her window and all the way along a back window as well. The poor girl freaked out and from what my mate decibel, he was quite bemused by her response. (Not that he wanted to see the poor roo get hurt, but it was funny to see a city slicker respond to a purely country type experience.) It brought a smile to our faces when he relaid the story to us. You do feel for the girl, but funny all the same.

I would certainly look that buffalo head over closely.. May me left overs from an Indian hunt.. Look for signs of cuts into the bone left from their processing it.. I have a friend with an arrow point half buried into the skull of a Buffalo's skull he found in a creek.. One of the coolest things I ever saw..
