Cribbage board, scale arm, watch tool, lady of the lake!

[diggingthe1]

The past few hunts have been fun! The weather has been nice! I got my new detector (EQ) and have been going over old spots. The lady is aluminum and has initials on the back. The cribbage board is a older 60 hole board. It will be fun to restore. My wife and I are game players. It has nails to attach to a wood base. The Indian is 1900. I think the copper arm is from a large scale. The watch tool was a great find and will look good in the case! It says compliments of Peter Miller Kingman Kansas Keystone watch cases. The child’s ring was broken Hope you all find lots this summer!

The Lady piece is an interesting find.

Nice finds. The tool is a watch case opener for when the pocket watches required opening to wind and set them. Key wind an key set pocket watches.

I still travel at least once per week to the senior homes to play cribbage with the old guys. They insist on $5 per game and double for skunks. Most of the time they clean my clock!

Never trust a man that can’t play cribbage.

some of the old timers are cribbage sharks ...as a merchant seaman for 27 years ….I learned the basics of how to play long ago and am still learning

chess --cribbage --poker --all keep the mind sharp --in senior homes boredom is the enemy --anything that lets one forget that their stuck in a "home" is a welcome change of pace

It should be a fun project to restore. I like the look of oak for the bottom!

Best two handed card game in existence. 8 hours to learn and a lifetime to master. If you can call it that. 3 handed is also fun but two handed is the challenge. The old guys love playing crib and it does keep them sharp and occupied
