Found in old broken-down shed

[oldhermit34]

I was metal detecting by a river bank in Zanesville, Ohio and found all this in and around the shed. Lots of trash to dig and way too hot. The box with the stamps was crushed and I almost didn't see it. Thanks for looking.

Sorry about the stamp pics, Don't know what happened.

Awesome finds. Was the box with the stamps found on a shelf or where? The stamps look to be in great condition. HH

Pretty nice stamps there in decent condition. The most recent, I believe, is the 4c Lincoln, probably from the '60's, when I first started collecting. The 25c Niagara is fairly rare, I believe. And the document stamps are rarely seen and less rarely offered for sale.

Interesting find!!! Treasure isn't always found with our detectors as you've just proved. Some of those do look quite rare. Impeccable condition. I 'd bring them to a stamp collector to have them looked over.

P.S. - I used to live in Hoboken, NJ. That stamp with the Hoboken meter is very cool. Nice finds

Do the Birds have 'Wade' on the base?

To njnydigger, I soaked them off of letters and some postcards and some were just there. To CRUSADER, Nothing on the bottom.
