CALVERT STORE 06/28/08

[texan connection]

Some neat stuff today, maybe only 1 day left of diggin, (sigh) all things must come to a end.
But I went out with a Bang. Got a First for me,a non silver 3 center, Got alot of great marbels also, and a UEO (unidentified excavated object) If you cant read the dates on these coins I cant either yet. I also got about 20 Wheats that I havent checked the dates on yet, and a 1903 Indian head

I took a Pic of this nickle and penny to show some of the Masking problems I've seen here. I'v seen this example about 10 times in this store even on Silvers.
This was a 4 x 14 x 1.5" deep or so area, If I would have only detected it rather than sift it, I would have gotten a about 6 wheats and 1 silver, The rest is after sifting it out.
The trash was the usall, a lot old buttons, a suspender strap, a pocket watch part, Tons of rusted nails, Iorn UEO's (no Complete Bottles today). etc.. etc....

Great finds Texan. Glad you had the opportunity to wear that spot out before it's gone.

Fantastic!! I hope you're going to do a thread with your grand totals from the store. Hopefully it will go in the Best of Tnet.

Those marbles are gorgeous.

So far all I can find on your object is Park&Tilford was a store in New York City,In 1911 a dynamite shanty on 72nd ave. blew up killing one person and destroying several homes and the interior of the Park&Tilford store! Good luck.
