interesting finds... Do you like finds like this or are coins only worth posting?

[chukers]

I have been out only a few time this last month... Coin finds have been limited to a few mercs and wheats and alot of clad.

Be here are some of the more interesting items I have found in the last few weeks.


Antique Dr. Scholl's Foot-easer Support 1905, 1908. - Other


Medicine bottle and perfume bottle what year??


Lead Army Dude What is he holding and what time period is he from?



The is some kind of pin or button it says W.O.W. They are not M's when you turn it over the W's look like M's but they don't look right so they are W's What is this thing its very tiny smaller then a dime.

Lead soldier is using a range finder. WOW is Women Ordnance Worker but that does not fit the theme of a stump.

I think any interesting items are worth posting.
I find alot more misc. stuff than coins when I hunt.

It is actually a lapel pin. It was given to members of the insurance society "Woodman Of the World" most likely 1930's

Well done.

I believe any item other than trash, belongs here. I like seeing all the different things people find, thats what makes it exciting.

 

[Giant056]

Great bunch of finds I really like the lead toy soldier

 

[cmcelfish]

Like seeing other things too, Lv the "wow" foot

 

[Diggit]

MUCH rather see some interesting trinkets and relics than somebody's "silver number blah,blah for the year."

It's about the history, not how much of a certain thing you can find.

 

[pumice]

Coins are good.......
I also like seeing the other relics that are found.......that's usualy what I post.....lol

 

[submarine]

I think I like the unusual stuff myself. Gives me more insight to the past.

Great day hunting Chukers, Your lead soldier is a US Army Doughboy described as #B70 in Richard O'Brien's book, "Collecting Toy Soldiers," Made by the Barclay toy company, no. 735 "Soldier w/ Range Finder," circa 1936-1950, having come from the factory fully painted and with a snap-on nickle helmet. Yours is in great shape for being excavated, congrats!

those are better than my 19 cents and shotshell base today..... Nice finds

 

[gregd573]

Coins and jewelry are fun to find...but unless its a great coin or ring....then it usually gets tossed into the container which hold my collection of coins and such. Cool pins, buttons, soldiers and thing as such...will be added to or made into a new display....love those little items...ie...crackerjack toys....and such...great finds and I hope you continue to share them with everybody.....happy hunting.....gregd

 

[TommNJ]

Definitely some nice finds there, congrats and thanks for sharing, I like seeing everything people are digging up, gives me a idea whats out there and some education on a lot of items too. Yeah, I think that lead soldier is cool too.

Great stuff, and no coins are not the only thing worth posting. Relics seldom get the credit they deserve on this or other forums. I say post it all. It really bothers me when folks post just the coins, especially when they are old coins. I once challenged a member to post the rest of his "junk," saying that he probably had some good relics there--and perhaps something valuable in the "junk." When he posted the relics, he had Civil War and military items mixed in there that he had no idea what they were. Forums like this are an important and easy way to get relics identified, and other viewers will help sort out the "junk" from the keepers. Those are some great relics.

I think you will find that your Woodmen of the World pin is older than the 30s for sure. I have a hunch that this design is late 1800s, because one of my team found an identical one at a site that was abandoned by 1910 or so.

Cheers,
