Rainy day hunt

[Goes4ever]

Had the day off and hit up a few old places, it rained off and on all day....... found several wheats two Indians 1903 and a almost mint 1904 and a 1905 V Nickel. And the old tire gauge. Nothing super awesome but better than working!

Nice finds for a rainy day! That 1904 Indian is in beautiful shape and the tire gauge is a neat find too..

Yep, that IH is in nice shape and nice green patina too.

Goes4ever,

The tire gauge is on the WAY COOL list. You need to find a way to put that in its' own little display. And the 1904 IH is super clean. With the 2 IH's, V Nickel, wheaties AND the tire gauge, I would call that a VERY good day. Nicely done.

Great finds - that 1904 Indian is as good as they get !
I've found a few of those old copper / brass / bronze tire gauges - they usually have a ton of patent dates on them and they clean up real nice.

"Rainy days and Monday's always get me down", except when I"m out detecting. Beautiful Indian Goes4ever! V nickle and other Indian solid too. Nice array of wheats. Wonder about what period tire gauge is from?

1909 is the pat date on it I believe

The tire gauge is a really cool find and not something you see everyday. A little googling found this: " in 1914 the average American motorist was riding on tires only 3 and 1/2 inches in cross section, inflated at 80lbs pressure." That must've been a comfy ride on weather beaten roads! You'd probably have bounced less on horseback.
