Modern Park - Old Finds

ANTIQUARIAN · Jun 30, 2014

I hunted this 'naturalized' inner-city park for 3hrs on Sunday and was pleasantly surprised with what I found. I wish I could've gone longer but the temps with the humidity here have been into the low 90's by noon. :sunny:

This is a large park that covers approximately 10 acres of land in the city where I live, so this site will be my regular Sunday morning hunt location until I cover it all. I was hoping for rings and maybe some older coins here, but I'll take these finds any day! :laughing7:

My finds for the morning were a brass horsebell c.1900, a brass No. 1 size oil lamp collar c.1890, a 'Crown' preserve jar lid including the blue glass sealer c.1930, an alarm clock bell and $1.37 in cash! :thumbsup:

Thanks for looking and best of luck to you all,
Dave

Very cool spot, I'd be in the shade all summer and the sun all fall. Too bad about your long winters.

Nice finds, I would love a park like that, good research!

Hopefully, I'll have some decent finds to post after this Sunday mornings hunt! :thumbsup:

Thanks for your post TH,
Dave
