A Turn of the Last Century Park

[Wildcat1750]

There's a turn of the last century park I love to hunt but haven't visited in a while.
Plenty of trails and rugged terrain...and few people.

Some highlights:
Extra Coin Silver Plated Spoon
1911 Wheat Cent
Hash Pipe?
Victorian Metal Name Stamp with letters missing (I will be posting this in 'What's It?') = 19th Century Metal Signature Quilt Stamp*
Part of a stove or heating grate?
Montreal Canada CONSOLIDATED DISTILLERIES LIMITED CAP - MADE IN USA
Muzzle Loader round and ubiquitous .22 cal shell casings
Plus lots of pesky shiny discs that should all be Silver Quarters!!!

*A Special Thanks to Plug N Play for solving this mystery: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/641752-precursor-rubber-stamp.html

Thanks for looking!

Sounds like a nice spot you have there. Great place to hit when you have the urge to find cool treasures. Nice variety of old finds. Congrats!!

Thanks, Jose The Goon! Plus the soil there is loose, loamy, and shallow with a layer of leaves. Perfect for digging!

Some decent finds. The "pesky shiny discs that should all be Silver Quarters" are interesting. Where these found together?

That's a stash pipe. It unscrews in the middle. Open it up and see if you have a "stash". Gary

Yep, popular when I was young back in the 80’s. Stuff the center full of cannabis, and after a lot of use on the pipe, burn the resinous “stash”.

At least this was what I was told it was used for.

Cool stuff.

The spoon is by Wm. A. Rogers Ltd. and is their 1912 pattern "Leota".

Great recoveries. Most of the parks here have been pounded repeatedly.

Thanks, dognose! Those dopey discs were spread out in an area about 50 feet across.

Hey, ToddsPoint. I already reamed it out with a pipe cleaner and blew it clean with compressed air. I think all of the "stash" got scattered about the room!

Hey, fistfulladirt, it was pretty resinous in there.

Cool stuff.

Thanks for the I.D. Red-Coat!

Nice variety of finds.

Thanks, Trezurehunter! I like when a hunt has a little bit of everything.

Same here but sometimes you luck out...

Yep,that is a fancy pot pipe.

Hey thanks, thrifty76now, at first I was hoping maybe it would turn out to be some fancy late 19th century opium pipe.

Great stuff! That quilt stamp is awesome.

Thanks, terrafirma! That is the 3rd quilt stamp I've found in a 15 year time span and it's taken me until this last hunt for a positive I.D. on it... Maybe I'll go back to that spot and try to find some of the letters but that target was at least 8" down.

Looks like a great place to hunt, keep at it!

I'm sure I'll be spending more time there before the snow flies, Professor of Engineering!
