Here are my guesses as to what all you have in the first pic... The Jr. G-Man badge is puzzling, I couldn't find anything on one shaped as a star, most were the normal shield style...

Those are some great old relics... not to mention that you found some wheaties in the yard. Keep hunting it... I'd be willing to bet a silver coin will pop up soon!

Congrats! :thumbsup:

Good stuff! Keep hunting.

Our current house is dry. :-( 20 years old and only clad (so far). LAst place was 80 years old and I dug a Merc and many wheats.

PS - I think that's a Pontiac emblem (car) trinket or fob. Flash Gordon had a lightning bolt over his ears. ;-)

I believe that the larger sparkplug looking thing is actually the Magneto contactor from maybe a model T ford. I used to have a T and it hade one very simular to that one. Is the cone part like a bakelite or black plastic? Thats the insulator part if so. the other end should have a spike thing that made contact with a lead blob that was the Mags + end. Or not. Thats my impression imho.

Wow thanks for your indentification of the things. I didn't know what to call half of them lol. The flash gordon pendent is actually an old pontiac key chain or fob not sure which and the battery? is more like an old lipstick container. It has been smashed but at one time you can tell that it could have been opened!

Thanks again when I get more I will post it!

You know I am not sure, I guess I have to look at my things more carefully. I have already trashed it all. Except the gun, badge, monies and the belt buckle.

Not much exciting stuff but still :) The only coins I have found so far are 6 pennies, 2 nickles and 2 wheaties. I don't know what half of the stuff is. I know there are two cap guns, a few spark plugs, some solder, a Junior G-Man bag, a lady's belt buckle and a lipstick container I think.

Thanks for looking and HH!


Love the G man badge, some interesting finds you have there!
