Hot hunt with some cool railroad artifacts

[Johncoho]

Had a nice hot metal detecting outing this morning with a friend. Not quantity but some old history saved. Found 2 old railroad baggage tags. one for the East Broad Top Railroad Co. in Pa, and the other marked, From Martinsburg, Pa and at the bottom, Penn. R.R. Really like the P.R.R. tag. I love finding anything P.R.R. Also found an old Great Seal military button made by City Button Works, New York made between 1877 and 1923. Also have 3 Wheat pennies soaking in cleaning solution. A really hot, but nice time with a great friend. Thanks for looking and stay hydrated out there. It is hot everywhere. H.H.

Thanks, Tommy. I love anything railroad related and for a Pennsylvania boy with many family members that worked for the railroad, P.R.R. is on top of my list

Nice hits. I hit a yard near a railroad and dug up about 25 spikes.
