Very nice diggs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Rebel]

I believe this is a lock to a satchel.

R. Neumann & Co. is still around in Hoboken, NJ or at least their sign still is. I see it when I take the train in. "1fp Aout" is "1st August" in French and I believe Brd St is an abbreviation for "Broad Street."

It's a cool relic!!

The seated dime looks like its in great shape... and the token and heel plate are also great finds. Congrats!

1865 Patent! I will watch this to see what it turns out to be. Have you 'over' cleaned it, its very shiney? I have a hard time deciding if its silver or not?

 

[mattysee]

I realise that what I may say might upset some on here, as I understand its yours to do with what ever you please. So I will put it as best I can; please don't take the patina off of any item 'before' you know what it is. This could have been an extremely rare find & we (purist) all would have cried because nothing but another 100 years in the same ground conditions can create what you had. Enjoy the green, please, well at least until you know its historially worthless. Thanks for thinking about it next time.

[sandy shoes]

[dutchtoga]

That wired brush you use to clean up those finds does a really good job. WTG " Jar Head ".

 

[sonofadigger]

I'm pretty sure he can do what he wants with the finds... Crusader makes a good point but ultimately its his to do as he pleases the above comment is not welcome in my book

 

[mattysee]

hey dutch toga you walked over that seated 20x with your b.s. tek t2! HAHAHA

 

[dutchtoga]

I was swinging the ATPRO back then sharp guy.

 

[DFW_THer]

Do some research on the token. If it's unique or 'first known', then you can expect a payday. Don't wire brush it yet!! haha

Great finds mate!

 

[mattysee]

YOU MEAN THE MONSTER? TUFF MACHINE.....LIKE A TIMEX

 

[mattysee]

JUST A PEROXIDE BATH FOR THE TOKEN LOL
