First silver of 2009 is a 1st for me

[waseeker]

Hi Everyone.

Went to a club hunt today in one of Portlands many "hunted out" parks. 72 hours of hunting (18 folks X 4 hours), produced 4 silver coins, 2 silver rings, a gold ring and a gold bracelet among the significant finds.

I was fortunate enough to find a 1944 S Silver nickel as well as a silver ring. That is my first ever war nickel

I also found a small lapel pin. I has the initials N. W. E. L & P. A. We think the first three letters are for North West Electric. any other information ya'll can provide is appreciated.

North West Electric, Light and Power Authority? Just a guess

Those are some great finds. It's a good thing the park is hunted out, lol.

He could be right, it looks like maybe a water wheel on the pin? Nice finds!

So much for the term "hunted out" congrats!

Not 100% sure, but i might be for Northwestern Electric (NWE) which was one of the small companies that produced hydro electric power (as pictured by the turbine) I think they were a part of the power and light administration/authority (PLA) that later became PGE, or Portland General Electric. That would place that pendant around 1915-1935 at the latest.


What club are you with OTTS? I have been thinking about looking for a local club around here.
