Ballfield today

[jeff of pa]

After yesterdays Hunt at the South Woods making Me a bit Bored
from hitting it Too Much.
I decided it was time to let it Perculate for awhile.

So I ran here instead.
Sorry no On-site Pics I forgot till after I was on the way home.



1938



Todays gas Rebate 80 Cents



My Trash



Some Whats'its too Small to I.D.




Brass


Button/snap/couch or pillow Button



Bracelet (maybe silver / Maybe not)



This was rolled up in A ball, Best I can straighten It.
Because it as all together , I'm guessing it belongs together



If the Buckle depicts Liberty, That is allot of Liberty for one day.




1910 Liberty V , Looks like it was Mint when Lost,
But Corroded since


1884 Liberty V

Nice job getting those V nickels!

 

[RustyGold]

Glad you got out. Looks like you had fun!

Congratulation on the Liberty nickels.

Nice stuff, I think you may have a piece of a broken pocket knife with the whatsits.

that is possible.

it's a bit tiny so it could have also been part of a folding fingernail file



The other piece appears to be Crushed tin

Small pocket knives were once very popular back in the old days... the nickels may be a sign of an older history to the ball field. I would keep at it there.

the Nickels don't really date the land.



The Ball field is c1890 as a Beginning Date.
so they do date the ball Field.

Fields were also used for Training Troops during Civil war.

But we have found Large Cents there also & I got an
1853 Quarter here in the past



place dries up every once in awhile But when I leave it go for a few months then come back days like this happen

WTG Jeff, congrats on digging those V nickels, you doubled my total in one hunt.

 

[WHADIFIND]

Even after all that's come out of that place and yet, it still comes up with a goodie now and then!

WTG!

You should be getting close to finding that 20 dollar gold piece I left for you. Soon!

 

[rastinirv]

That buckle is really something! If you clean her up anymore, please post a photo

What I like it is December 12th. & right now it is 57 Degrees at 7pm.


Predicted 64 Tomorrow.
I think if I'm not stiff as a Board & in Pain tomorrow.
I may just go back & get skunked

I haven't really thought about it. I hate the thought of removing the Toning,
And the Buckle sounded Brittle as I was Trying to Straighten it more.
so tuff Decision right now

Really cool finds. The V nickels are pretty awesome but I like the buckle. I would love to know the history of that piece. Congrats.

 

[Cletus]

Congrats on a great day and some outstanding finds!

yes I'm curious on that also. It appears to have Wolves in the corners But I'm not absolutely sure
they are not just meant to be decoration. They are soaking in WD40 right now.
Will probably Very slowly Try to clean them up enough for clearer pics at least.

Recheck the date on that V. First year was 1883. Nice finds!
