3 Silver, 25 Wheats And Some Fond memories Of Cadillac Ranch, Texas

[crazyjarhead]

Good evening fellow members. I just got back from a beautiful trip out west and it was sunny from Joplin, Missouri to Los Angeles. It was also sunny most of the way back with a nice stop in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the 80's there. When I got to Arkansas on Sunday it began to cloud up....but still nice temps. I left Fort Campbell on Monday and when I got to Van Wert Ohio this morning it was a little windy and 50 . I threw in some extra pics of Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas

When I got back home I was itching for a hunt. I headed back over to one of my spots which dates from the early 1900's. I haven't hunted it too much as I have been hunting other spots as well. The soil was prime and it was good digging. I have already pulled 3 silvers from here and tonight I added 3 more with a lot of ground to cover. The old church sat next door and it dated from the 1850's. By the looks of the soil it has been graded over about 3-4 inches. I know the old stuff is there it's just hard to get the depth with the ace 250. No Indians or barbers or LC's.

Hers what I found today:

1 Zippo Lighter at 3 inches
1 lipstick tube with a little lipstick inside
A ford 30 years of service token. I've seen a few on here before.
some kind of Ohio Seal thingy
1 valve stem
1 wrench
A toy watch
A thingy with south seas on it
1 Copper play money... Falsa??
1944 War Nickle
1942 Merc
1947 Rossie
25 Wheat's.... Wow
(3) 1918's, (3) 1920's, 1919, 1929, 1935, 1935D, 1939(2), 1940D, 1941,1944, (3)1945,(2) 1946, 1946D,1948,1951D

Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy the extra pics. Ron

Great finds, Ron!!!

Three silvers and some cool relics - that's good hunting!

That first item in pic 1 is exactly what I found a few weeks ago. Someone said it was part of a horse rig? That watch is real cool, too!

Thanks Neil. Haven't seen your post for a while. What happened to Larry, Curly and Moe

you found that Ohio token in California?
good finds!

Nope. Please read post carefully I just found it today. Any idea on what it is.

ooopps my bad! I did not catch that! I found several of them in my area, is there a county stamped on the back? They were used by utility companies, like on gas meters etc.....at least that is what I am told.

Thanks Allen. I just take what I do "seriously" I guess. 110% of my spare time is devoted to this hobby.
