Yep, I got run off my latest field of dreams. The one
where I found that eagle piece. I only got to hunt 1 hour.

But, there was some good news. This is all I got:

2017 (413).jpg
2017 (414).jpg
2017 (415).jpg
2017 (416).jpg

Believe it or not, this last piece? OTWBTTC !!! LOL

2017 (418).jpg
2017 (419).jpg

I thought this brown stuff was just dirt stuffed in the cavity
in the back. But, it appears to have been part of some sort of
padding? My first guess was just some decorative piece.
Maybe mounted on a piece of wood? It reminds me of a
butt plate for a gun. Did they ever make things like this
for a butt plate!?!?! :icon_scratch:

Check this out:

25 grams of pure sterling! :treasurechest:

Poor Blingster! He took one look at the size of this
huge shiny shiny, and passed right out! ;) LOL

What was the good news? Well, yeah this is the site I found
where I am now positive that SOMEthing went on there! All this
in one hour!?!? And, yeah, I got run off. But.....it was the sun that ran me off!

I had overdressed and I felt like I was cooking!! I wanted to stay soooooo bad!
Then the silver piece came out! :( But, I could hardly stand up! WHEW!

Don't worry.....there ain't nothing on Earth that'll keep me away now!

Thanks for peeking!

Appears you found a beautiful old brush, Whadi, if in fact the brown pieces with the holes were inside the silver piece... Congrats on the OLD silver...Sub 8-)

That's much more like what I thought! A gun butt would just mangle that design! :)

Still, in an hour's time? All that? Yeah.....I'll be going back. ;)

Thanks!

That is a beautiful piece, love it. Would you care to elaborate on the "got run off" part of your story?

Sweet!!!

Thats an awesome relic hot spot,
With or with out the sun!

Makes more sense if the silver was from a brush would explain the initials on it.

Poor Blingie out matched by his shinny!

Well you have a spot to keep you busy for a while.

Now, Treb! You REALLY must pay more attention in class!!

Yeah, it SURE does appear that this just might be one of those spots that we each search for during an entire "career".

And, about those initials? Suffice it to say that I *know* who they belong to, they are the same as one of the original owners
of the land and they *are* known in the history books! But, for now, I shall selfishly keep that info to myself.

Thank you for the kind words!
