    Pick my best find

    Hello THrs. I am trying to figure out what my best find for the last year is. I am fairly new to the relic hunting side of detecting and would love any input you might be able to give me.

    I like the RR baggage tag best, but all are good finds.

    I think the baggage tag is probably the best find, but it is really whatever you like best. All are nice finds!

    Re: Pick my best find


    I like the baggage tag & the spur . The tag looks civil war period, if it is I'll go with that if not I like the spur. You do any research on the baggage tag to see how old it is? Congrats on the finds your doing really well

    Re: Pick my best find

    The baggage tag is CW era. I found it at a Federal camp here in Al. The only reference I found on the company is from 1858, they made various items for the RR.
    If you dig it, they will come.

    Nice Jeff, I'd say baggage tag, closely followed by the spur (in that condition its a little rarer)

    Relic hunting consists of a series of misadventures interspersed by occasional moments of glory.

    Re: Pick my best find

    I guess, like beauty it is in the eye of the beholder. The seated dime is a nice condition find, but coins are too common a find to be my favorite, given a choice. I'd say the spur, being most unusual of the lot would be my favorite. How many diggers have one of those ? I don't
