Coverd Wagon thingy? NOT! Sign Reflector! THANKS for the ID

BerntOut · Feb 19, 2011

I thought I knew what this was but I may be wrong. A buddy dug it yesterday off of an old side trail near the Camino Real. I thought it was a sign reflector but another MDer told me he thought it came off a covered wagon? Hmmmmm........

Hi, The domed glass looks as if it's part of some form of reflector. as in a roadside post or even mounted on a waggon etc. as illustrated here??

I like the Chinese coin :icon_thumright:

Any symbols? Generally not worth much valuewise, however IMHO a very cool detecting find :icon_sunny:

Looks like one of the reflective marbles they use to put on old stop signs. :icon_scratch:

I agree, sign reflector. I also found one last year.

pretty cool when unearthed and the sun is reflecting off it down in the hole.
