Dug a vintage minature Texaco Motor Oil porcelain sign, and silver belt buckle.
Detected an old homesite and dug a variety of finds. The Texaco sign is metal, 5 inches and porcelain coated. Had great color for coming out of the ground. It had some type of base attached to it originally and from researching it , I think it was a door stop used at gas stations. I thought the buckle was silver but it turned out to be marked "Plate". I researched the company and they made these out of sterling also. I dug the 43 Washington at another site a couple of days ago. I think someone cherry picked this site because there were no coins but plenty of relics. Ive got a big display shelf that we call the "Adventure Shelf" so it just got a few new pieces. I think the last two pics is a speaker from an old phonograph but not sure.
