2018 Clad, Copper, Brass... and Other Treasures

[BigWaveDave]

Sorry 2018 is over with, I was just getting warmed up with great finds!
I didn’t get out as many times this year, compared to years past.... my clad and silver totals reflect that.
Ok, let’s go.

$67.51 in clad, $41 in copper, $30 in brass, and some scrapped junk gold gave me all these!


171 wheats, 45 Silvers..... My goal of 50 wasn’t met, but still pretty solid.


My Coin of the Year..... 1860’s Rupee, from the Hyderabad region of India.... found it in the backyard of my neighbors house!


Jewelry finds were few and far between, a few rings, pins, medallions and the like, but my favorite is this little enameled bus pin, best I can tell from the 1930’s


My Relic of the year would have been the Millifiori brass box from Italy, one square inch of exquisite beauty...
But it got beat out last month by what turned out to be my 2nd Banner, the Mexican Border Service pin.... so here are pics of both.


My best hunt of the year, was the School courtyard tearout, 21 silvers and over 50 wheats... that was awesome.

So that’s a wrap on 2018, thanks for looking!
