That's the one thing that I've always loved about this hobby. The aspect of
"HUH!? Now how did THAT get HERE!?! " LOL
Had a couple hours to walk today and I chose a park where I KNOW it has been hit
and hard! (I know, cuz I did a lot of the hitting myself!
)
This park is a fave of mine because it has such a wide diversity of history. I've found everything from
A wooden crucifix to a large key spill, to large cents to 14kt gold bracelets here. (That's right, the bracelet I showed recently.)
Every time I go there, it ALWAYS gives me at least a couple items that just plain makes me smile.
Today was no different:
They burnt the whole wheat.
This piece was really a fun piece to find!
Just a handle but I would love to hear what
it might could tell us about it's history.
It's about 5 inches long, a 1/4 inch thick, non-magnetic
and silver plated.
In the field I knew it was silver plated but I thought
this said Atlantic Cast Line. I thought maybe it was just
some cast flatware. But it felt so solid, so heavy!
The thing was buried over a foot down! (Good job, ATP!! LOL )
With the little research I did I now know it actually says,
"Atlantic Coast Line". I know even less about silverware
than I do about finding a gold coin.
But, I know this is an interesting find!
Just wish I knew more about exactly what it was and
where it's been. And, how it came to rest where it was found.
Then! On top of all this, one of my favorite
scenarios unfolded!
Just never gets old! Ya know?
Thanks for peeking!
