Artifacts, Wheaties, Relics And More

[JerV3]

Hey everyone, Been slow the past 2 or 3 outings. Been doing mostly alot of relic hunting these past few trips. All the stuff comes from a bunch of different spots I am testing right now. Getting to wrap this season up here soon. I'll hit the drawing board over the winter and line up something good for next spring.

I found a old abandoned house off a high way over the weekend. I thought for sure it would be good because it was so hard to spot. Well I got there and it just didn't pan out. Looked to be hit at one point. Found a few things there but no coins. I found a pink budda looking thing that says cracker jack on the back. Any one know how old it is.

I only managed 7 wheat's for old coins these last few trips or so. Found what I think was a railroad lock. It has a R on both sides. I actually broke it. Not with the digger but I was trying to get the crud off the bars and it gave out. It happens I guess. Found the back of a large button I think. It is lead with gold gilt. It says colgate co new york on the back. Any ideas on that guys.

Thanks for looking

HH Jeremy?

Nice Finds JER, I'v never Seen the Cracker Jack Buddah Is it Metal or Plastic ?

IF plastic I'd say 60's.

I think they went to Paper Now.

The Boat (Ship) is probably a OLD Monoply Piece. I found one Years ago & was told this.

awesome finds!! The colgate co thinng is prolly part of an old toothpaste tube or something similar. Those cufflinks are neat.

Jeremy, your Cracker Jack Oriental figure dates from the 1950's and is worth $7-12. It comes in a variety of marbled colors. Here's a similar one:

Thanks alot everyone. Thanks PBK for the info. I found it in the old house I was searching. The yard got slow so me and Lance went in and busted some walls down. Came away with 3 old marbles and this budda I wasn't even going to pick up. I realized a few days later it said cracker Jack on the back. I guess treasure is were you find it. So I'm glad I picked it up. It is plastic about 3 inches tall.

When coin hunting gets slow I relic hunt. It's the end of the season so I won't really worry about lining up a good spot right now. I'll just rework all the sites I know of for the last little bits.

The green lady I picked up yesterday in a old park. Looks old. Too bad she wasn't whole. Your right treasure atleast I'm cleaning up the envirnment while at it.

Hope everyone had a good year.

HH Jer

Excellent digs Jer!

From the looks of it, I'd say it's never been detected!
