This coin and all of the coppers were found in a hay field just across the street(It took me 2 years to think to look there :icon_scratch: )

Re: Djabend's 2008 finds (Relic pics added in a lower post)

Donny,

Thank you So much for posting the relics. I like to see what other keepers folks are finding--and I think it's great that our site can be such a good record and database for us to ID things for folks.


One day, in the far flung future...someone will search for a wierd spoon that they found that says "Lois Wilson" on it...and when they see your post here they'll realize they're not alone. :)


I love the clay pipe. I've found precious few of those, and I love the ones I have. I also think the complete stencil is awesome. Have you been able to come up with any information on it?



Best Wishes for 2009! :thumbsup:

Actually Buckles that's not a clay pipe. It was about a 30 VDI on the XLT, might be pewter :icon_scratch:

As for the stencil I was able to find some NY Times articles from the 1890s on a James Clinch Smith and a Francis T. Underhill that ran a coach called Tempest
Perhaps this was for stenciling something for shipping to them ???

I was able to find this info on James Clinch Smith as well.

Donny,

I don't think I've Ever seen a pewter pipe. I've seen plenty of pewter Whistles and Clay pipes, but that is a COOL piece!

:thumbsup:

Thanks Buckles,
Its the only pipe I have ever found.

I found another bit of info on the web about James Clinch Smith, who I believe is the Smith referred to on the stencil.

Interesting, I will keep digging :icon_study:

What is the name for the bell that you found? It starts with a 'C'. I found one in Umatilla, Florida recently. It's not nearly as nice as yours, but I still think it's pretty neat. Got me 2nd place in Find of the Month for the Ocala club. Thanks! Great pic's
