SLQ and V

**Brentallica** · Mar 20, 2011, 10:08 PM

Got out with PostalGriff and FFD Saturday and hit a place near my home today.
The SLQ is a no date, but I'll take it. Also recovered a 1902 V-Nic, 64 Silver dime, Chinese coin (I think

), 7 Wheaties (20, 35, 37D, 44, 46, 49, 56D) and a pretty cool old bell. The inside says BELLS OF SARNA INDIA.
Good times!

Great hunt there!! Love the S.L and the V. Looks like ya hit a great spot. I used to have the link to the chinese coin site where you can date em but after I found a few I didn't care anymore and must of deleted it. Most of them are pretty common and old, from the 1700s or earlier. Still cool to find. Congrats on a great time out.

Very cool! The Chinese cash coin is an oldie! Congrats on the cool digs.

Excellent hunt, Brent.

Congrats on the great coins. Very cool bell, too. Any idea how old it is? Any date yet for your Chinese coin? WTG

The Wrench looks like a Rail Gear wrench of the old Steam trains . It was to adjust the tension on the front trucks and the load end of the drive wheels .
I think that is what it is. But not positive on this as it has been awhile from the last time I saw one and looked it up. Might give you a place to start for looking .

sweet info...thanks Daedalus...
I remembered I had this Chinese replica coin set I've had for a long time, and gave it to Brent to see if he could match it and sure enough it was on there....1820-1850! very cool...here's the pics

Thank you for the ID on the Chinese coin brother. I had no idea it was as old as it is. Makes "cents" though cause the homestead was built in the 1850s.
Thanks to Daedalus also for the ID of the wrench!

see if he could match it and sure enough it was on there....1820-1850! Nice. Makes a good find even better when you can give it a date.

Now, about that bell....
