Nice Old Silver And Retro Finds.....

[John-Edmonton]

The last couple of hunts didn't produce a lot of targets, however, there were some nice finds never the less. I am really enjoying finding some vintage finds, things which were real popular at one time.

Avon has been around since the late 1800's and became a North America icon, as is even today. Lots of old Avon products are very collectible and bring a nice premium on EBay. I managed to get this miniature Avon "BULLET" style sample for lipstick, going back to the 30's-40's. Avon is stamped on the opposite end of the tube. (not shown)

Some old silver is always a welcomed find, and this hunt produced a well worn silver quarter. I also managed one of those good luck key chains, usually available at fairs, where for a quarter, you could punch in whatever you wanted to, as long as the space was available.

And finally, shown below, is a MATCHBOX pipe truck, made in England from the 60"s, a replica of the one I found. A search on EBay showed these going for about $20.00 - $40.00 dollars.​

John, any comments on the audio response and depth of that nice old silver? I get eerie high pitched harmonics in the tone when the conductivity gets up there in the silver range. Too hard to describe but it is unmistakable.

I get that sometimes too, and when the VDI is in the 80's, I usually get excited
