3 Day Relic Frenzy

[prolab69]

Did a few days in a new area, found some nice bells, buttons, a few knives, a key, a zippo. And an interesting knife with an eagles head carved in the handle. A nice variety of old and new.

Congrats on pulling all those goodies. I dug a bell exactly like yours. Looks like you found an old clock key. I am still looking for one of those.

Great group of finds... Gotta say, that knife handle is awesome. I really like the carved eagle. Is it bone or wood?

I believe its bone, it only had one blade, did they use that blade to carve it? lol

Not a clock key, the end shows it twisted off in a lock, it was about 4" long at one time, so my guess is just an older door key.

That's some very cool relic finds, those bells look great, WTG

Looks like you got a mouthpiece for a bugle in the mix.
Nice hunt

Nice bells and key, the bone handled knife is a real nice relic.

Gota love relics! Each one has a story. Love the carved on knife. I found a pc of a brass bell like that once, but just a pc. Nice hunt!! :thumbup:

Looks like you are on the right path again ProLab.
That button looks significant?

Some VERY NICE old relics there. I like everything but a bugle mouthpiece is really hard to find & on my wish list. WTG, Q.

The bugle piece is my 2nd, I found one about 4 years ago also. The button is ca. WWI, the washer used to be a large cent, someone in town knew how to make cents into washers because i have found many of them in different sites. the 3 bells came out in great shape, the one pictured with the key?... not so much. glad everyone enjoyed checking out my finds, . . and thanks.
