yeah I put in a good six hours probably. Enough so I was a little sore today

yeah the cap grenade is sweet and in perfect condition, I plan to buy some caps and try it out. I have another one I found a couple of years ago but it's damaged.

thanks Mike, the RR tag was definitely the highlight of the day and I found it right at the end. The two sash buckles were only a few inches apart so I'm hoping that the matches are still out there.

Thanks! I love it too, it's actually in great shape and I plan to use it as a butter knife. I've found a lot of silver plated silverware but this the first one I ever considered reusing.

This is the kind of treasures I like to unearth! I love the 1921 Dog Tage and baggage tag. Really great old relics. I found a perfect cap bomb about three years ago but when I was showing my kids what it was I dropped it and the tail broke off...doh! I have since crazy glued it (8P)

 

[Brentallica]

Looks like your machine was ready!! Nice pile of digs bro! Love the RR Tag, Dog License and Butter Knife the most
Haven't you found some of those Veteran tags before??

 

[Michiganne]

Excellent digs, pg. Love all the relics with writing on them. I also like the metal cap bomb....recall my brothers playing with them. Have a great year!

Thanks D! I do have a huge collection of things partly because I have a hard time throwing things away. I have a couple of display cabinets, trunks, totes and containers separating things. Other than giving some things away, the only finds I've ever sold are about $800 worth of gold a few years back at Christmas time bc we were a little short.
