Large cent, '71 Indian, silver trifecta, fancy skeleton key & a good day with a buddy

I'd about two or three hour hunt with Vino this afternoon. What a great day for George but I'll let him blow-up the forum himself. As for me;

A huge brass skeleton key
Three (1910,1917,1954) silver dimes
Three IHP's including a '71
1816 large cent w/90 degree turning on obv.
Two pistol shot
A gas valve from the old tavern
Some eyeballed bottles

Overall a great spur-of-the-moment hunt and many thanks to my pal george

Enjoy

Steve

Thx OD. George was spent early from his find so he lacked the energy to find all this stuff before me. [emoji4]

Love the color on the reverse prior to cleaning. Needs to be waxed up and shown in the right light to look good after cleaning. That's the key.

Nice bunch of finds Steve, but you need to start cutting in front of George at every opportunity so you can try to steal one of those big silvers before he sniffs out another one :laughing7:.

Awesome day with a Sweet mix of finds!!

I think I like everything you found and would take anyone of those and call it a Great day. Really like that old key and Sweet dime trifecta. I'll get one of those one of these days. Lol
