Better items from yesterdays hunt with TC

[thrillathahunt]

Hey all,

Yesterday was a physically exhausting day to say the least. We tried to start another old Calvert store dig, but after digging a hole nearly to China to find the original ground level, we decided it was too much work, at this time. So, we went to the old plantation site on the outskirts of Calvert. This time however, we concentrated on an area that was more "modern", probably 1930's ? As usual we found lots of "junque", but some nice finds did appear! 8 hours of pure diggin fun!

Besides the relics shown in the pics, I did manage to also fing a 1928-D buffalo nickel, 1917-S and 1919-D wheat cents.

Junior Fire Marshall ring
nice military button ...says Jeweler's products corp. Providence, R.I. (probably WW1)?
suspender clip
old brass wedding band

Happy Hunting!!!

It sure did look exhausting, Rick, from Albert's post! Wow, that's a lot of digging!

Glad you were able to find some keepers out of all that dirt! The junior fire marshall ring is really cool!

Congrats,

Nice finds! That junior fire marshall ring is from the Hartford life and fire Insurance Co. .Now known as The Hartford. I found the same one last year in Bloomfield CT. One town over from Hartford. Yours is even cooler being found in Texas.

That's interesting. I heard too that Civil war soldier's had brass wedding rings also.
