MMMMMM-Good! and a Half Penny for your thoughts!

[ringfinder]

Well my partner Gary is on vacation in California and I'm stuck here in the Great State of Ohio.

I hit a few sites that I could hunt and the mosquitoes didn't eat me alive. The sites I hit are in town where they spray for mosquitoes, but you still have to spray with all the rain we have had.

I found this really neat Campbell Soup Fork, couldn't find the spoon. Guess Campbell soup is so thick you can eat it with a fork. LOL I also found a 1918 Half Penny from somewhere, the front says GEORGIVS VDEIGRA BRITT and a bunch more. I also found a old ear ring, a small creamer for a tea set, a Virgin Mary with the Pope on the back, a football and football shoe charm, a 1944 wheat penny and a I guess horn tuner. I think the tuner is for a band instrument.

Thanks for the reply, all I can read on the Pope side is PAOIUS, can't read the other side of him.

Thanks Again, Ringfinder

I love the dark green patina on that half penny. Coins look nicer with that color on them in my opinion. it's a shame that numismatically speaking, a dug coin is worth less if it comes out of the ground looking like that.

Neat fork, and other relics. Way to go!

I feel your pain Ringfinder. Although I have not been MDing, just going outside is guarantee of being eaten by the skeeters. Looks like you did manage to come out of it with a very nice collection of finds. A good assortment on the finds as well.

Congratulations,

Rev

Thanks for all your replies. It's always fun to dig up something different. That was my first fork like that. I have found some of the half penny's before. They are always a nice find.

I found the football charm at a football field. They were tearing down the school, so I was digging just about any signal, trying to get it before the bulldozers got it.

Happy Hunting all, Ringfinder
