Well I hunted a usual spot twednesday at dawn, got some clad and a 194? merc some fishing stuff an a little clad.

Today I went out and hunted a new spot that got me a 1910 wheat and a 53 rosie. Left that spot (will be going back) hit some woods that yielded nothing. I ended the day at a park that my friend and I hunt often. The ingersoll yankee pocket watch was on the surface under a foot bridge burried in some weeds. According to the serial number its from 1928. The comb and clad was from another section of the same park. Enjoy and happy hunting!

pocket watches are a fun find :icon_thumleft:
 
I like the comb, you think it pre-dates modern plastic, maybe Bakelite or celluloid?
 
Very interesting finds!

I don't think I've ever seen a Merc come out that rusty looking! This come out of the ground?
Strange mineralization there!

HH!

You have no idea. I got this from the bay that does horrible things to silver. I posted this one where the silver actualy bubbled off the dime. I can't explain it I just dig it.
