I found something neat this morning ..

[creskol]

... Haven't dug one of these for years. Use to find quite a few hunting farms, fields and old roads in rural Maryland and Pennsylvania back in the 60's and 70's. This one was found today on a city lot in Charlottesville, VA. Gave it a good bath in the Ultrasonic Cleaner and coated it with a thin coat of mineral oil.

Forgot to mention this was my first trip out in a LOOOOONG time and the first find for me in 2018.

The only tags I find in Florida are Cremation tags...and they're bad luck and need to be thrown back into the ocean. Neat find.

Thanks Ron .. I don't really get out much any more, but I'm still alive and kicking. I hope to get out a bit more as the weather and time permits. How about you? Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

I think that fell off my first car. Awesome find!

Thank you all for your nice comments. That is one thing I really like about this forum. People share in and enjoy the most trivial finds all the way up to the most significant finds, and I find that to be refreshing. Thanks again everybody.
