Yesterday, I met up with Thad (pa dirt-nc sand) and John (High VDI) for a little cellar hole digging at an old home site that Thad and I have been hitting lately. The place is littered with late 19[SUP]th [/SUP]to mid 20[SUP]th[/SUP] century junk, but has also given up some earlier finds including a 1749 KG II, an 1854 LC, a 1840s store token from Pittsburgh, some early flat and tombac buttons, and an early keg spigot key.
I didn’t find any early stuff yesterday, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. I did earn a new nickname, that being The Spoon King for my outstanding 5 SPOON DAY.
Here are my finds, most of which are bound for the brass and copper scrap buckets. The buttons and broken crotal bell are from Friday.
I also found a deer skull and a vintage frying pan with blue enamel. I offered to whip up a batch of fried deer skull for the boys, but they weren't interested.
Here are some of the smalls I dug this weekend.
I did find my first complete 1880s gas lamp fixture. I have found plenty of valve bodies and valve keys to these things, but never a complete assembly.
Some close ups of the gas lamp fixture.
That's all folks, thanks for looking!
