Mildly Productive Day on the Shovel

[Icewing]

I got to get out of the house for a few hours this morning and decided to stay close to home and do some digging on a new permission in the old part of town. I had hunted it very briefly once over a year ago but just never went back for some reason despite having found a couple of wheaties. Last week I saw the owner working on his truck and asked for permission to try again. Thankfully he said yes, and though I only had an hour I did manage to squeeze out a '39 (not pictured). Today I headed back to give it another go, after 2 cups of coffee and a Dr Pepper to wind my clock. Here are the results.

Though I haven't yet acid tested it, I'm pretty sure it is.

Thats a great collection of finds you recovered there.

Nice haul of coins and relics. I dig finding ax heads. My buddy restored one of his and put it back into service. Yours looks like it would be a good candidate for that. Cool silver brooch thingy. Nice you got back out and on a nice permission.

What's written on the last link of the chain, just before the clasp hook?

Congrats on your finds. I like that Neckerchief slide, and the key token.

The little heart shaped charm fell off when I was initially cleaning it but after a quick dip in salt and vinegar, the clasp works and It's usable again.
