Had a nice hot metal detecting outing this morning with a friend. Not quantity but some old history saved. Found 2 old railroad baggage tags. one for the East Broad Top Railroad Co. in Pa, IMG_0001 (1).JPG IMG_0001.JPG IMG_0004.JPG IMG_0005.JPG and the other marked, From Martinsburg, Pa and at the bottom, Penn. R.R. Really like the P.R.R. tag. I love finding anything P.R.R. Also found an old Great Seal military button made by City Button Works, New York made between 1877 and 1923. Also have 3 Wheat pennies soaking in cleaning solution. A really hot, but nice time with a great friend. Thanks for looking and stay hydrated out there. It is hot everywhere. H.H.

Thanks, Tommy. I love anything railroad related and for a Pennsylvania boy with many family members that worked for the railroad, P.R.R. is on top of my list

Nice hits. I hit a yard near a railroad and dug up about 25 spikes.
