1920s finds

[McCDig]

Last Thursday (March 2nd) I was invited to join a fellow detectorist to hunt a permission on a turn-of-the-century home site. While the ground was noisy with all kinds of targets, I managed to dig some period items, some of which appear to date from as early as the 1920s. My three favorite pieces are the sterling belt buckle, the Model-T tire valve stem, and the lamp finial; the finial is in the "art deco" style. We were out there for about 4 and half hours on a day when the wind would just not quit.


For more detail on the valve stem and finial, check out this video:

Hey Tommy! Thx. We did hit the small front yard at the end and I got nothing. Seems like out back is where the targets are.

Thanks ATW! Funny we didn't find any wheats or even memorials. Happy with what I got, though.

Thx vpnavy! Not getting out as much as I was but looks like I may hunt tomorrow afternoon while the weather is decent.

 

[McCDig]

Thx Art! Aside from the silver buckle, my favorite find of this hunt is the Model-T valve cover.

 

[McCDig]

Thx DDF! I think you're on to something there. It's a complicated site with a lot of competing signals. We're probably walking right over the silver.

Thx Trezurehunter! It's just 3 miles from my home. My buddy's given me the "green light" to go anytime.

Thx Jamie! Thinking of detecting tomorrow afternoon out at County Home Park in Cockeysville.
