I Luv New Dirt = Silver and some Cool Relics

[cambria09]

Hello All. New permission last nite after work yielded some great digs.

Got the OK to dig a 1928 small town home site and scored some nice items:
Numerous newer toy cars, a marble, misc clad and hardware, WC, a vintage pressure gauge (my 2nd of this variety), a nice silver pin, and a very cool "Talking Machine" name plate.

I think the name plate was made in Japan because I cannot find one like it on the net and it has some Japanese symbols on it...maybe rare?? I was very stoked to read it especially with the well known "HIS MASTER'S VOICE" image engraved on it.

Much more area yet to excavate...hopefully will find more postable items.

Thanks for the view and Good Luck. C9

Yep, you are correct......all about patent protection!

Good Luck finding more interesting stuff!

Hello IFT. Interesting...so we were worried about oriental knock-offs as far back as the 1920's. Thanks for the reply and Good Luck. C9

A day of relic discoveries is as good, if not better, as a day of coin shooting............you had a GREAT day!!
I find myself stopping, removing dirt and studying the relics.......the problem is trying to decide what to keep and what to recycle!!

Hello Chizzy. Yes I agree...coins are coins but relics tell a story. Deciding what to keep is tough, I err on the side of safety which drives my wife nuts. Thanks for the reply. Good Luck. C9
