Last Weekends Finds, Including A Dick Tracy Ring

[xlt nh]

Been a L O N G week at work and haven't had time to post..BLAH! :P

Found my first Dick Tracy Ring from the 1940's and my first Pewter Whistle, which I believe it from the mid 1800's...Very Cool!

Also a pewter spoon with 'Britannia' on the back of the handle, a knife that reads 'nickle silver', some flat buttons, a 'What's It' that reads 'Clayton Mark & Co.' (think it's a filter of sorts)..

Two beat up IH's (1 is an 1889), a few wheats and a '35 Merc, flat buttons, etc...

Using my new Bullseye 5.3" coil to find everything in places I've hunted many times....Awesome!!

Have a great weekend!

Nice finds. Looks like you found a good
place to hunt.

Neat Stuff!

"Brittania" is actually the metal your spoon is made of. Similar composition to pewter, but with usually a bit more Tin and less Copper.

XLT...nice finds!! I found a similar whistle last week, it still works too...

Thanks everyone! Whistle works excellent!!

The relics came from the circa 1800 house where I found all the Large Cents and Reale...hittin' the woods with my smaller coil.

Hank...good luck in the woods there, hopefully there are more LC's and spanish and old U.S. silver just waiting for you to pass your coil over them....

Neat stuff!

The Dick Tracy ring was a 1940's premium of the Miller Bros. Hat Corp. (See below.) Hake's latest price guide pegs it at $50 in good condition; $115, Fine; $210, near mint.

Love that ring and whistle! It's amazing what you will find with a different coil in places you've already hunted. Way to go!

 

[xlt nh]

You got that right Piggman!! It always amazes me what's been missed....but I'm lovin' the woods now!

Thanks PBK...that's really cool of you to post the advertisement! I had no idea it was a free gift...

You just never know what your gonna dig up next....

That is such a great find! I really like the old American memorabilia. I know a guy that found a Little Orphan Annie decoder pin. (You will shoot your eye out kid)
