5¢ Silver, Jaw Harp, triger guard ?

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

ZDD & me on the dusty treasure trail again.

We arrive on site, conditions perfect, though a tad warm. No grass like a herbicide had been sprayed. Between the two of us I think there was a house site there. Dave got a massive skeleton key, and a watch winder among other stuff. I got the juice harp. We wandered off into the deeper grass for a bit, then I came back, and eyeballed the clay pipe piece, then a shoe buckle piece came up. Was thinking at that point something good was about to happen.

Well I did pop out a small silver, had no water so had to wait to see what it was. Then just like a rain shower it all dried up. Still a lot of fun, it shouldn't be forgotten a lot of folks just don't have time to have leisure activities, I am glad to have that luxury.

Haven't emptied the pouch yet, but horse tack, ox shoes, and junk is all I remember putting in it.

I'm thinking some of the goodies have sunk out of range here, the soil quite soft, and I dug holes at least a foot deep a couple of times, one being the decorative brass piece shown.


The silver is 1918

ZDD "going in"

This is from a previous hunt, wondering if what looks like a triger guard is ? as it was only connected at one end. I don't know, but that is what it looks like to me.

Nice finds Rick. Good variety is what I like. Looks like it could possibly be a trigger guard so get back and find the rest of the firearm.

Though not highlighted in your post . A jews harp is still on my relic bucket list. I have never even got a piece of one ! Silver showing is always welcome . Productive hunt Lets hope the fall season is longer than our spring season was . M.R.

That was a great day Rick, congrats on the silver. My LC turned out to be a 1846.

Great stuff! If broken on both ends then yes I'd say it's a trigger guard.

Cheers,

Buck

I think some would like to see the size of that key, and your Copper.

M.R. here's hoping for a good fall season.

No, that's the thing, one end terminates to a relative point...not broke ?

That knoll looks like a nice spot for an early house site. Good job on the recoveries.
