Thought I'd post the finger lighter I dug outta the water in South Beach a couple days ago. Definitly the most unusual thing I've found so far.

Isn't that sometimes called the fickle finger of fate? I thought that was a friendly greeting drivers gave each other in busy traffic. ;D ;D ;D

Re: Contest.................."PIC OF YOUR MOST UNUSUAL FIND"

Darn near forgot about this!

Hope I'm not too late.

This iron knife and grape shot found together in Michigan is about as unusual as they come I guess.

The knife has been cleaned and needs to be checked by an expert but it is believed to be a French Trader knife dated maybe from 1650 to 1850.

The French trappers traded these to the Indians for beaver pelts.

I now live a short distance from what was once one of their key trading posts.

Thanks and I prefer a red porsche...LOL!

Re: Contest.................."PIC OF YOUR MOST UNUSUAL FIND"

If there's a prize for warm and fuzzy, this needs to be considered. Watches are found all the time, but this is my first and it's a Mickey Mouse watch. Still running. Found it this morning on my first hunt with a new Sov, GT. Got the warm and fuzzy's when I saw it.

Nah, it was way too dirty to drink. Plus, who knows, some little dirt child could have urinized on the can, too.

Hey Badger!

How about your avatar???
That is certainly an "unusual" find if there ever was one.

You always have very interesting finds and I enjoy reading your threads.

Smiles!

Re: Contest.................."PIC OF YOUR MOST UNUSUAL FIND"

Thought that this might qualify. Found it last year just before they tore down a local grade school here. At one time, was my avatar. Found it one piece at a time in a 5' square area right next to an asphault parking area about 4 inches down.

Re: Contest.................."PIC OF YOUR MOST UNUSUAL FIND"

This one's really unusual.

Dug this bottlecap right,
another freaking bottlecap,
but wait,
turned it around and it's actually a piece of jewelry.
A "Bottlecap pin". A "Buck-A-Roo" bottlecap pin.
I have no idea what it is for but I think it was was my only "Keeper" bottlecap ever.

Smiles!
