Hello,

It's been real cold, but diggable here in Michigan. I've been working my neighbor's yard, which is quite old, here is what i found

First day:

Old lighter
Waterboy button (any idea of value?)

Second day:

Radiator valve dated 1913
Firestone pressure gauge dated 1910! could have been used on the first car in town 8)
3 cases- one holed (had a string through it ) and one made of aluminum (why?)
4 holed Canadian cents
1953 d wheat (only old coin so far )
Coast guard medal (any idea of age?)
and half a buck in clad

Thanks for looking!

I think i have as much time as i want...

He gave me permission to hunt, then, suffered a heart attack. He is in the nursing home indefinetly...keep him in mind please. He was also very ecentric. He took trash and made lawn orniments and the trash dump in the back isn't helping. VERY hard site to work, but starting to pay off.

Thanks

Love the lighter.

The 3 bullets you found are actually cartridge cases. The aluminum one is probably a CCI Blazer. They use a non reloadable aluminum case.
