Rock Pile Finds

[Gypsy Heart]

Had an opportunity to search a rock pile last night,just about an hour before dark. Found some nice items under the stones and sheets of metal. Will be going back in a couple of weeks.

Maybe someone could identify the childs helmet. The other items were identified in "What Is It" by some great folks from TN! Thanks Everyone!

Mariahs helmet looks to be a British or American Doughboys helmet from WW1, although the British used this style during the 2nd world war as well. If it was made in America I would think it was made just after the 1st war ended............1918-??. Very, very cool find, Id tear that pile apart Gypsy!

Those helmets are neat ! I bought a WWII German Swastika helmet for 40.00 at a flea market then resold it for over 150.00 ! Helmets are a great find always,your especially because they were free . Maybe some kids were playing WWII LOL ! one was a British soldier & the other was a German soldier

Very cool finds Gypsy! The last helmet really looks French, the emblem/ensignia on the front is of a French Grenadier, round part represents the grenade, the flames above it, the explosion. I have a few buttons with the same emblem. HH, Mike

Gypsy you alway come up with some of the most unique items. Always a pleasure to read. And some great story telling to boot.


Just one question for you? I rarely see you posting coin. I think you are holding out on us. Piles of silver and gold you are hording.

Oh...and did you get to go back and read your Planert post? I had the answer

Congratulations,

You should always were that army helmet when your out detecting. Then you can tell the inquisitive interlopers that your searching for land mines.
