Watercolor & I planned to hit the woods this morning, but it was raining, so we waited until after lunch. It was a great day! For me, it was a lot of relics and a few coins. For Mark, well let's just say he is still smokin' on fire !!! :o

I got an old Nylotis compact with two peacocks engraved on the cover, a real cool patent plate, some kind of heavy corner bracket or decoration, one and one half spoons, one of those ubiquitous 1919 buffs, a 1925 wheat, and a 1920 S Merc that I think is just gorgeous. :wink:

Here are my finds. Just wait 'til you see his post!! :o

Looks like you guys have found a nice old spot, by the Patent date '76- I'm guessing that's not 1976.
Nice Merc too!
