Hey folks,
I got out a little last weekend but didn’t have anything to report so I kept quiet.
Today was a beautiful summer day in Seattle so I had to get out. I met up with a couple locals for some beach hunting near Seattle and had a great day! I came away with a silver ring, 2 silver Rosies (54-D and 56-D), a marble, a roached wheat and a unique toy gun.
Also found 2 great pieces of glass. First reads, “Pacific B...Tacoma, Wash”. Mostly like Pacific Brewing and Malting Co (1897-1919). Second reads, “Kerr Glass Mfg Portland, Oregon” (1904-1912). Cool local history!
Find of the day belongs to my buddy. He was like “Hey, I found a flat button.” We checked it out and couldn’t tell exactly what it was except that it was foreign. (None of us had ever seen a Phoenix button in person, give us a break). Anyways, this is a find that should make ‘ol Tom in CA proud.
After some research we did confirm there was historically a native community in the area. I like to think this was traded up the coast from one tribe to another in the 1820s/30s and was lost on the beach by someone being too careless. Such a cool find.
Thanks for checking in everyone and happy hunting!
