GOT OUT THIS MORNING WHILE FAMILY SLEEPS

[Vino]

Went to a home site that I haven't been to in a year. Last time there found a few silvers. The yard is full of iron. But since I know my detector much better then last year thought I would give it a shot.
Nothing real old, but a great hunt and the winner for me today was this late 1800s University of Pennsylvania pin.
I really like it. And a few silvers and a big honking silver ring with some hallmark. Thanks for looking.

great group of finds George, is that pin silver??

I like that chunky ring, but have no idea what
the hallmark is, good quick hunt!

 

[SusanMN]

That silver ring is quite a beauty and the old pin is great too. A fine hunt.

 

[Vino]

Yes Chris the pin is silver.

 

[Old Dude]

Hey, that pin is awesome. Nice old lock face and that may be the biggest silver ladies' ring I have seen posted.

The Champion Six Lever lock face is actually pretty cool! That's a harder to find variety btw, the square face is atypical as many were the rounded type. Miller, the company that made those locks was based in Philly. Company was around from 1870-1930. Might be worth it to try that same area and see if you find more of the lock.

I actually try to find the other half.
I found a round one last year all together that still moved a little.
Took it to a locksmith and he hot it working and made me 2 keys for it.
It cost 40bucks but I love it.

Don't matter if isn't stinking old, what counts sometimes is the great variety and that makes a hunt.

Hey man those are all great finds. Cool dime trifecta, and that pin is pretty neat! Looks like it was totally worth getting up at the crack of dawn and swinging lol! Some of my fav hunts have been really early, it's peaceful.

 

[wheatfinder13]

I'm pretty sure Tylerbdad's wife must've dropped that one

 

[Erik in NJ]

Nice set of finds ..... here's a P item I found that I thought might've been from U Penn or Princeton as well. Love the little Derringer

 

[against the wind]

Three Silver Dimes, ( a trifecta), two really cool pieces of Silver Jewelry, a derringer, (Is it real??), and an old Champion Lock. Man you are too modest.
That's a great hunt. You should get up early more often. lol

 

[Slingshot]

Congratulations on some nice finds! When I was a kid I had a derringer cap pistol, like the one you found, except mine had red grips. I remember that diamond design, seems like it had something like engraving on it. Nice digging!!

 

[Brother Al]

I'm pretty sure Tylerbdad's wife must've dropped that one

Oh boy! Here we go....

 

[Trezurehunter]

I see relics, jewelry, & silver. Maybe I should talk my wife into sleeping a little longer ! Great hunt.

 

[46Wheat]

That's one big honking ring

 

[thewatchers]

Looks like a good hunt. Believe you got yourself a Hubley Cap Gun. Pictures are a tad to fuzzy to make out the diamond on the handle but it looks a lot like one I dug years ago except mine was red.
