A walk through a ghost town

[GatorBoy]

It was my first time to this particular area.. I imagine after some time I'll get it cleaned a bit and narrow down the areas where I will find a coin didn't find any old ones today.

We hunt a site like that and it seems to give up a old coin for every 30 to 40 hours of hunting which sounds terrible but I'll keep going for a seated every now and then.

 

[GatorBoy]

Its almost exactly the same at this one you really have to pay your dues but the coins are there.

 

[GatorBoy]

Very cool finds really like that lighter

I thought I would mention... that item is a match safe

I thought I would mention... that item is a match safe

That's even cooler then

 

[GatorBoy]

Back again.
No coins at all this time.
I could use a few ideas on what the item with the ornate design is.

I figure why start a new thread for the same place.. Dug up a few more things today.
While out there I walked up on a small ring of stones with the charcoaled wood still in the middle of them from a campfire.
A few feet from the fire ring was a small log obviously place there for something to sit on.
I immediately checked directly behind it thinking if something fell out of






































A pocket while a person was sitting there that's where it would be it was like I put my coil straight to the nice steady mid tone signal I got.
I pulled a 1923 buffalo nickel from the hole. .. Anyway to keep it short and sweet here's the photos

Nice Buffalo GatorBoy! It's in amazing condition from what I can tell. Is that a horse cameo? I love old relics as much as or more than coins.

 

[GatorBoy]

I guess you could call it a cameo its a button with that horses head behind glass.
That Buffalo is in great condition I can even see the strands of hair in his ponytail.
Real fun hunt today.

Only using a cell phone camera but this is a little better

Hahaha. That last picture in the first post looks an awful lot like a stocking clasp off of garter belt.... Just saying...awesome!

 

[GatorBoy]

I think it is.. Pat. date of 1908 on it

 

[VBCurt]

Very nice. Undiscovered history is sweet to find.

 

[GatorBoy]
