Hello All. I hunted my new best site today and yesterday, it's an old home site on the Indian River that had a small orange grove next to it.

Dug and variety of items including tax and amusement tokens, WC's, misc hardware, pocket watch parts, sinkers, buckles, an old razor accessory, and some more lead toys.

This makes (22) lead toys that I have dug a this site. Most of them are home made from a kit as id'ed by Subterranean a few days ago.

My favorite find is the Autostrop Razor Co item. There is an interesting story about Mr. Gaisman and his endeavors, see link below.
Henry Jacques Gaisman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The lead toys just keep coming, I still have about 1/3 of the site to dig and I bet a few more lead guys are in the ground.

Thanks for the view and good luck out there. C9

Nice digs, the nickel is sharp, did it come out that way or did you clean it?

Love the lead toys. The cowboy with the lariat is really cool. I found a policeman similar to yours in Denver. That Colorado tax token is a long way from its home. Good hunt!

Hello dig kzoo. The nickel came out that way, just rubbed it for a few seconds under the tap. Thanks for the reply. C9

Awesome finds !! have you found any silver from there yet?! it seems that you should be finding some there as the wheats and other relics certainly date that site to be old enough to produce LOTS of silver! Anyway, thanks for sharing, that is a lot of neat stuff...ddf
