Last Month's Detecting Finds

Texas Jay · Jul 12, 2018

These are my metal detecting "keeper" finds from June 5th to July 3rd, 2018. I found them all using my little Garrett Ace 250. I also found a lot of scrap brass and copper items which are not shown and pounds of metal trash which I disposed of properly. The top of the old bottle is included because I found it in the same hole as a metal target I was digging and it gives me an idea of the time period of the site I was working at. I found 3 rings last month, including a small sterling (925) Avery rope ring, an aluminum junk ring, and a ring that I sure thought was white and yellow gold with a large diamond but it turned out to be neither. I also found a copper bracelet like were popular in the 1970s. Underneath the toy cars is my favorite find of the month - a brass American Legion key fob with the words "1938, El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora de La Reina de Los Angeles" that has a Conestoga Wagon and some buildings on it. Next to it is an old "Jesus face" lead printing plate. I also found several bullets and old shotgun head stamps.
