I would like to crown myself......and a keg

[Blind.In.Texas]

undisputed heavy-weight champion Token Finder. Hit a stand of woods near a cemetary today. OUTSIDE...not....INSIDE. First hit was a 55-D wheaty. 12 pennies in all, 2 quarters, and 30 tokens!!

I also dug a cute little copper water spigot-nozzle-faucet....thingy. I would like to see the ornamentation of the handle, but, I like it just the way it is.

Sunday I was out in the woods near my house and, believe it or not, I found a keg out there!!! It has been out there for several years. A couple of small trees were growing right at each end of it!! Still had a quart or so of old beer and a lot of air pressure inside!! MY KEG!!!! Budweiser...mine...all mine....Also found a nutcracker and some sort of light-duty trailer hitch. I am guessing it mounted for something like a lawnmower or similar sized vehicle.

Dug a plate off some sort of furnace for home or office use. Can't tell. Didn't care. The disk is from a previous dig. The front has Pat. Oct. 20 .08 (as in 1908). On the back are two pontil-type marks and a '141'.

I am on track to break a thousand digs for January!!

Thanks for looking!

Fun finds! I think your valve is from a gas lamp from the insides of an old house, rather than a water spigot... or at least it looks like the ones that were throughout my grammy's home. Sounds like you're getting some excercize and having some fun... a thousand digs for January?!!! Well done! -Ben

I sure wish that keg was fresh when I found it. I really coulda used a brew out there! A guy could thirst to death out there all alone in the wilderness!!

 

[Night Stalker]

Awesome finds!

Very well done ~ Congratulations......

Good luck on your return trip.

DIG, Just one question,how much was in he keg,when you first found it Did you lighten it up so it would be easier to carry
I have to give you credit,good finds. What are the tokens for ?

 

[LJ]

Very neat finds!! So now what do you plan on doing with the keg?

 

[Blind.In.Texas]

A few quarts of beer. Very old. Not even I am that desperate....I thought about it though

Game tokens. Lotsa game machine tokens.

I think I will make a grill out of it or maybe a smoker!!!

 

[sfinder]

You could hook that spigot to the keg and drink the rest of the beer!

Mike-

They put a big deposit down on kegs - go get it!
