Minelab EQ800, Ex2
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
Past few hunts, not much better than getting out detecting!! Sure love it, these were found in a Colorado mining town. If anyone knows how those old token machines work let me know. I imagine they put the solder in to make it work like a quarter. I found the doorknob years ago, they matched up pretty good.

Great finds, but I love the Victorian door knob & backplate!
 
Thanks, I meant to say that I found the doorknob years ago, they matched up on, hopefully I can get them on my door.

Nice finds up there, digger. Thanks for the share and keep up the good work.
 
That is so cool that you will actually be able to use those door parts! I need to find me some nice ones!

Thanks xr7ator, I was able to secure a great permission. Even gave the construction company a liability waiver. Half a block long in the old part of town!! They keep moving the dirt around for me. Pretty soon it will all be covered over. I think they will be doing building more houses this summer!! It's been a great spring!!

Thanks Lenrac2, I can't get enough of that old art deco brass. It's beautiful, hope you find some. I imagine this was from the fire in 1900.

Thanks!! Back then you would never think about how cool this would be in the future. I wonder what ordinary items we will leave behind that will become valuable?
