1923 City of El Paso chauffeurs license

[Texas Yankee]

Hello Tnetr's, so for the past two years I've been detecting on and off this old dumpsite and even thou it's getting harder to find anything I've been fortunate enough to dig up some goodies.

Today after an hr of dirt fishing at my favorite honey hole which in MD is like 15 min, I managed to pull out a wheaty and what i first thought was a FOB and instead turned out to be a 1923 City of El Paso Texas chauffeurs badge. That makes #5 chauffeur badges from this honey hole but all in different spots within 20 acres and 1 my buddy car91rs gave me.



Collection overflowing...


Yesterday's finds...
Sterling silver bracelet, unknown date buffalo nickel, two 1920's belt buckles and a James Monroe 5th President commemorative token.





Saturday's trip to an old Railroad station. Found 4 unmarked graves approximately 3 miles into the desert... Got to love history.

German horse pipe

I think you have one of the greatest spots of anybody on t-net - I just love the stuff you keep pulling out of there !

 

[Texas Yankee]

Lol, thanks bud... I love this spot and I'm amazed at what was thrown away... Found this awhile back too...

I like those, good piece of social history. Can you research the no.281 & find a name against it?

I was lucky enough to hunt with TexasJim and a few of his buddys. Those guys were a pleasure to watch how they hunted. I dont think anyone went home empty handed. I hope to meet up with you guys this summer again tj. Thanks for sharing.
