My best relic yet!

[Coinboy]

I found this awesome turn of the century relic in a public park today! So I took my Garrett Ace Apex to a pounded local park today. I was just gonna take it there to see if there was any clad or jewelry left behind by the many detectorists that go there. There weren’t a lot of coin signals so I started digging trash signals just for curiosity. After about 50 pull tabs I start digging what I thought was another one. Then out pops this beautiful ornate relic! I had no idea what it was so I took it home to identify it. Turns out it’s a 1890s Parke, Davis & Co. syringe topper! The best relic i’ve ever found! Here are some pictures and a link to some history on the company: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parke-Davis
Thanks for looking!

Good find. To me, discovering the history of a recovery is as rewarding as making the find itself.

If the park has been cherry picked by coin shooters, best dig all them iffy ones.

Nice looking relic, and good job on digging the junk signals. It does pay off every now and then.
