Probably My Best Find Of The Year...Check It Out!:thumbup:

[John-Edmonton]

Out fighting the heat, the sweat and thousands of mosquitoes today. Lots of signals, a little junk and probably my best find of the year.

Here it is, a very old New York Chauffeur's badge. Silver plate on copper. The pin on the back is intact on the back too. I found an approximate date...1905 to 1909. Below is a link:

Slightly newer badges are going on Ebay for about $100.00.

Below are some other keepers from today.......

That is an awesome find! What did it ring up on the AT Gold? How deep? Details man!

It rang in the 60's, but I could tell it was larger then a coin, as I was using the small 5 x 8 coil. It was about 4" deep. You got to dig those iffy signals....they are not always a buried tin can.

You're right about the iffy signals. Last week I got one and I thought pop can but it was a small target so I dug. Ended up being a toonie, quarter and a nickel stacked together with a little rust to hold them together.
