Here follows finds of that last few outings.

List/Explanation:(not that it's needed, but I feel like typing)

Obliterated Indian head: I weighed it...it falls nearest to the 3.11g category being 2.5g. Can't get a date, sometimes it looks like a 2,8 or a 9..I give up. But I saw somewhere that the 3.11g category puts the mintages at from 1864-1909.

Aluminum Hong Kong ring: it got me going until the dirt cleared. :(

Initial Ring: Dang! Would have been a nice one if the band wasn't smashed and partly missing. This is my luck...I never find really good rings...always always always busted up or junk. But I like them regardless...just WHERE are the nice ones??

Hem Weight: It's a rather hefty one too.

Compact: Busted up on the inside, but in tact outside. Says "A Bourjois Company Inc., New York-Paris" on back. Was a deep target.

BANFF pin: I did not know what that was, at first i thought it was a club's initials. Der...a resort in Alberta. There must have been enameling on it at one time...all gone now.

Aluminum Play spoon.

Two hybrid rose tags. Am I the only one that finds these? I like them though, because they all say something different. I have about 10 of them...all different. The names are kind of funny to me...like Garden Party and Intrigue.

Play Station Token, keys, 30-06, hex nut earring, spike(dog collar? punk rocker?)...

Lastly the plated boot. That was actually one of my favorite finds really. On the back it says, "EP Reed & Co., Women's Footwear Factory and Main Offices, Rochester New York, Branches Chicago-San Francisco." There is a picture of this very key chain on the EP Reed site...the one featured appears to be brass, the one I found is plated with something.

I guess that's it. Thanks for looking. GL & HH.

correction: the earring is a hex key bolt. It's actually molded to look like one, not really the actual deal.
 
Love the shoe & the Banff canoe! :notworthy: I've found some of the rose tags, like 'em. Andi
 
Nice finds, nice post, have you tried a hot peroxide bath then a good toothpicking on your Indian, then put it in some mineral oil? You might get a date then?
 
Hey, you found an IH penny. Heck if I found one I would be really excited. Never found one and am told by many that they are not that uncommon to find. That there were millions and millions of many years produced. I like the little canoe quite a lot too.
 
Nice collection of finds! Your ring in good condition will come along.

I am still trying to "find" my way out of the clad & can slaw zone I seem to be stuck in this year. :dontknow:
 
The upper left spike is exactly what you thought, punk rock decor for the leather, or spike from a collar, riveted for animal, screw hole for the punk. Looks like a nice day of swinging.
 
I don't know about you but I love finding those old style signet rings. Broken or not. Very pretty!

Don't worry about the "good" ones, pl8man already found 'em all. ;) LOL

I love the descriptions as well! Good thing you posted pics though, as you know, no pics, it never happened. ;) LOL


Thanks for sharing!
