Medallion from Spanish American War Cigarette Lighter, Eagle "I," Barber 25c & More!
Hello All,
Did a 2.5 day digging marathon with DG and Shang. Here's a short video:
First day Shang tried out his Deus and he stood and watched me dig a nice spur
Then DiggerGirl got a strange medallion which I am almost positive is a side medallion from a Spanish American War Cigarette Lighter:
Lots of targets dug, but nothing really good except those two targets to speak of--although I did get a William IV keyhole cover from a smokehouse lock. That dates this lock cover to between 1830 and 1837.
Also picked up a VR keyhole cover (Victoria Regina) and was hoping for a GR keyhole cover (Georgius Rex) for the trifecta.
Second and third days were DG and I only. She dug her first Eagle cuff button on Day 2, and it's an "I."
Not much else dug that day. The last day we walked into a spot that had definite colonial signs but lots of can slaw holding things up and slowing us down. I picked up a good many clay pipe stems and eyeballed a perfect English Gun Flint laying right on top of the ground.
I got a nice 83 reading and was expecting another whole aluminum can but instead dug a 1906-O Barber Quarter.
Man, once I opened the flood gate on Barber Quarters they're everywhere. Took 22 years to dig one and now I have 3 in a little over a year. Go figure. She dug a lot of finds that day too, including a Buffalo nickel. I got a V nickel.
I dig dig a nice trigger guard with a flower design that I was very pleased with.
Also dug a strange piece of cast brass that looks like an oak leaf. Not sure what this is, but it could be something--and will definitely get saved!
All our finds.
Best Wishes,
Buck
