Were Getting A Snow Flake!!

We're Getting A Snow Flake!!



Can you see it!!!!!?

Well..last weeks hunts were pretty slow, but I did manage to find a couple of keepers that made me smile. First hunt was at an old foundation that I'm sure has been hunted many times, but we thought we'd give it a try. I found a few odds and ends here and there but my favorite was a tag with the name Lorria Thomasson and Jacksonville, Ala on it. I love to find old personalized items so this one's a keeper.

After hunting around the surrounding woods I came across this bottle that I thought was neat...

Saturday I decided to go out to the pasture and see if I could find any sort of CW relics. Not much there either, but I did find a neat old bullet.

When I dug it up, it had what looked like a jacket on the bottom end that fell all to pieces the instant I touched it. I don't have a clue on the era but thought some of you would.

Yesterday Terri and I went to a site that we have hunted before. It's one of my favorite places to go, but very difficult to hunt. It's the old mining town where they tore down most all the houses. I've found a sweet spot there where the dozer didn't get to and the past two times I have found silver. I wasn't disappointed yesterday either!

Keepers from yesterday were a 42 merc, a buffalo nickel, three wheats...16, 29, 50. A lead seal, a tag with my name on it! Thought that was neat. Three cars, one's a Tootsie, a marble, change, two pocket knives three fishing weights and another miners tag and a zipper pull! Had lots of fun and got in some practice on the SunRay..which I really like! Thanks Steve!!

Have a great week!!! Nana

As always a great photo spread - and I like rarely seen garter buckle! Seems the men lost WAY more suspender buckles then ladies lost garter buckles...

Enjoy the snow!

Re: We're Getting A Snow Flake!!

Great hunt nana. I love the dairy beverage bottle. I used to love to walk the woods and bottle hunt before I started detecting so much.

Re: We're Getting A Snow Flake!!

Wow Nana.....you make me wish I had bought and MXT instead of an XLT.........no kidding. You absolutely rock on the relics. Not to "parrot" Mastereagle, but I too wished we lived closer. I think you could teach me and thing or two about relic hunting. Great job as always!!!!!!!!!

Nice finds and great Pics....I think in the 2nd picture the round iron piece with the pointed overlapped edges is a part to a spice grinder or coffee grinder

Re: We're Getting A Snow Flake!!

Great looking pile of stuff Nana, if you try to do background on that tag of Lorria? Thomasson let me know if I can help, I am from Covington co. as is my mother who is in her 70's and "knows everbody". I can't place "Fairfield" Al. yet but I'm working on it. HH ... Aha ,found it.

Hi Nana. Nice finds! Your snowflakes look cool. We got some sleet but no snow last night. Like you, I get excited over a snowflake. Hardly ever get to see one.

Hey Nana, nice bunch of finds. I remember Virginia Dare wine; not fondly tho, drink too much of it & you would regret it! Snow in Alabama! If you want to see snow I'll send you some pictures...you wouldn't like it for very long.

Re: We're Getting A Snow Flake!!

Thanks ya'll!

Burdie...No shovel needed. Gone by dark. Was just a flash of excitement.

BcB...I read that! I've never see a bottle like it so I looked it up and it had the history on the name and all. Was very neat!

Peachy and Chef...The time line is good but Covington is south Alabama and Jacksonville is East Central Alabama? Thanks for that info though, I may be able to tie the two together. And if you have anything else I'd love to read it! Thanks!!!

DG...Naaa...just a little excitement for a couple of hours! NOW...if it had gone on much longer, someone would have pressed the panic button, I'm sure!

Civil....How much snow/ice did ya get? I've been in and out of a few briar patches since I've had it but not really any worse than what gets caught up with the headphone cord. So..not too bad.

Jim.... Those buckles were coming up all over the place and then the garter...my mind started wondering what kind of a place this might have been!

BB...You're way too kind! I'd go hunting with ya in an instant!

Gypsy....Thanks so much!!

Drummer...Thanks for the generous offer, but I'll hang on to 'em.

MM...here's a close up pic of the tag..


Thanks again ya'll!! Nana

Nana,
Here's the one I had dug last year. Somewhat close.
I love digging personal items too.

Re: We're Getting A Snow Flake!!

Fabulous finds Nana!

I continue to enjoy sitting in my office looking out the window at piles of snow.

Went today to test a new detector. I dug a piece of white metal junk and like ta froze to death.

One has to wonder when one has to dig with a pick axe.

Love that tag!!! Like you that personalized stuff is the greatest in my book.

Take care and enjoy the snow hahahehe

Re: We're Getting A Snow Flake!!

Boy did I goof. I read Peachy's post and picked up on the Covington thing. I guess it was a senior moment! I hope if you decide to track down the owner you'll let us know. HH

Where did our Victor tag go?

Here's a pic of your house from my driveway. Ain't it pretty?

Re: We're Getting A Snow Flake!!

Yes I see your snow flakes and we've had our fair share here in the Northeast too. I love your finds. The buckles and suspender clips are awesome. I think they are late 1800's, does that sound about right for the area? I found several myself. That tag is great. I found one from NY offering a dollar reward if the keys are found and returned to the address. It is fancy like yours. I wonder if they are collectable Congrats on those finds

Re: We're Getting A Snow Flake!!

Re: We're Getting A Snow Flake!!

Love the tag, MM!

Badger...Come on down south where even the teeeny weeeniest mention of the 'S' word sends folks scampering to the grocery store for milk and bread! I always wondered how they made a milk sandwich!

Quite alright Chef!

LISA! I can't believe I forgot the Victor! :P But I did! I found it in the same place as the buckles and the tag....I looked up the serial number and it puts it in the 1905 time...and yes, Ed, you are right on with those dates.
here's a pic..

OH..and I love the picture ya posted Leese! That's a good one! Are you ready for hunting tomorrow!!? I just read that we might get a bit more of the white stuff tomorrow night and Saturday morn!! Which hill are we going to sleigh first!!!!? AND...I just read where the most snow in the US right now is 199 inches on the ground at Dark Horse Lake, Montana, elevation 8,944 feet. THAT'S a BUNCH of SNOW!

Thanks ya'll!!! Nana
