Geo. III Meet Geo. VI...and a familiar whatsit!

Coppers found within 10 feet in a cow pasture...the joys of hunting a generational site!

I've seen the whatsit posted on this site and elsewhere but never with the rest of the cap. Looks like it's the top of a spice shaker. It's got a patent date of 21 Aug 1912. Mystery solved!

Nice finds! I don't remember that whatsit but I tracked it down thanks to that patent date :icon_thumright:

Richard Hudnut Talcum Powder.

Thank you! I saw one posted a few years back and had a guy swear up and down that it was from a hot water bottle or some nonsense like that. I didn't think it was from such a thing but relented to the fact because he put up such a stink about it but I wasn't fully convinced so I let it go.
Now I know for sure.

Like the finds Romeo ,hope you didn't get too soaked out there today

Here's a pic of the brooch...I thought that the green was patina but it's actually enamel.

Now that I've removed that defective pinpointer I can go back to all the fields I've hunted over the past couple years and re-hunt them and almost be sure of finding missed targets.
