Some ok relics recently, but I've been on a serious coin drought for weeks. I finally broke through this weekend with my second Walker. I scratched it....oh well. It came out of a dry sandy field but was almost jet black with tarnish so I decided to take some baking soda too it to pretty it up a bit.

Couldn't think of a better way to end a silver drought. Nice looking Indian and a sweet pile of relics.

Been on a silver drought myself until yesterday's rosey, however the walker is a great way to break out. Cool relics you have there and the bottle is a bit different, looks like it doesn't stand on end.

The circular object in Photo #6, with the screw threads in it - what would you say that is? I have something very similar, and will share my ideas if so liked.

It's an ox knob...went on the tip of oxen horns so that they didn't stab each other when working side by side. They were screwed on and then the tip would be cut off. Pretty common find, and I'm sure you come across them in Maine. They give a really good signal!
