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!

Nice finds up there, digger. Thanks for the share and keep up the good work.
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.
