One hit and this

[JMC]

I made a quick pass near the street with the Vaquero before dark and got one hit. The signal repeated but was very faint. This brass piece was 10 inches down laying flat so the signal came through. Looks to be a brass door bell button ring likely from the first electric door bell buttons in this neighborhood.

JMC...

I can't tell how big it is but guessing about it's size... figure it to be close to coins like quarter or half.

I bet it sounded sweet being that deep, Tesoros like brass! Nice vintage house bling

The VAQuero likes brass, nice find again

 

[JMC]

This should show the size better next to a US quarter.

Our neighborhood has houses back to the 1850 era. Ours is 1883.

It is what the door knob shaft goes through.

The ring surrounds the door bell button. The era this is from represented an elegant time. Even simple house bling like this was kept polished and gleaming to add more flare to the property.

Thats a really nice and unusual find certainly beats the normal run of the mill coinage.

It is almost certain a bell push i would think rather than a door knob plate as it has the word 'Push' on it

I see the word push now, just didn't look close enough. I do that sometime when I MD'ing.
