1854 Philly Half Dime, and Native American Pestle!

[Woodland Detectors]

I had a decent week with the weather cooperating. Some of the finds included a really cool little half dime, and a super cool Native American, Appalachian NC Pestle. ID'd in the American Indian thread. Most likely used to grind hominy.


Thanks for looking!

Re: 1854 Philly Half Dime, and Hammer Stone?

Some great finds there Mike.
Is the end of the hammerstone smooth or has it been broken?
Looks like it may have been a celt.

Yes it has been broken. Someone else suggested Celt...Nice

Great find, I'd go back and look for the other piece.
Here's a celt a friend of mine bought last year.

What material is that? I've not seen one like that before.

The half dime is definitely on my hope to find one day list. Nice finds.

I would love to find a Celt. Were you near water when you found it? I always search banks and elevated spots near creeks and rivers but I never have any luck finding Native American artifacts. I've found a few points in fields but I WANT to find a Celt like yours.

Thanks Joey. I was near water. Just off a bank. I was digging a good brass signal when the Celt popped out.

That's a KILLER H.D. Mike and you spanned thousands of years with the celt. I see dug the elusuive brass oval "saddle shield" too. HH and Go Vols, Q.

awesome finds!! love the half dime!

 

[Woodland Detectors]

Now that you have added that last pic Mike, I question that being a celt?
It doesnt appear to have a bit end on it or any tapering.
Is it the same diameter from one end to the other?
Also is it a hard stone material like granite?
It looks like sand stone, very porous not good for stone tools.

Good Call HB. You are right!

i was going to suggest it being a pestle and now I see the post title has changed.
Where did you come up with the pestle idea?

I really like the baggage tag Mike!
Congrats on the 1854 Seated Dime too!

Great finds,

Nice finds. I have the match to your watch fob. It's from the 1904 presidential race between Parker - Davis and Roosevelt (Teddy)- Fairbanks. The one have looks just like yours but with the different names.

Cool finds. What flavor is the jelly bean?

Great finds!!!

Nice finds!!!!

I am a little jealous...I've never dug a jelly bean.

What kind of trade in value would you give me for my gently used Ace 250 against a detector that will pick up solid tones on jelly beans?

Sweet finds Mike

I found the same clock piece on one of my earlier sites..

They are early i believe Colonial..Not positive on that

Killer coins and relics

Have fun out there..
