Hi everyone, Went out yesterday evening for about a hr and 45 minutes.
About 10 minutes into the hunt or so on a hilltop that is very tough to stand on I got a really nice solid plus 79 on the dfx.
I dug down and found the heart only a few inches deep if that in really loose soil.
It says Convention at the top. Then on the sides really small left to right it says Aug then on the other side it says 14-16.
In the middle is a S and B together as you can see.
Then it says Ridgeway Pa then 1906 at the bottom.
The back has a maker but I can't get it all clear. I think it says Schwab RSS & Co Milwaukee. Milwaukee is the only definite word.
It's bigger than a quarter in size. Must have been attached to something at one point.
The other item is some kind of old bell. I don't know if the date is authentic or not. I'm not real happy because someone took a axe or something to it long ago.
There is no lawn near this place so a mower just doesn't seem to fit. Someone damaged it I think intentionally.
It is heavy looks to be bronze and is about 3 inch by 3 inch. The front reads this from the side where it was smashed Istrano 1776. The other words are missing from the damage.
Then on the back it says clearly San Juan then the rest of the lettering is damaged.
It has a small nub at the top of the bell with a hole in it. Then it also looks like there was a string of metal attached on the inside for a bell to ring it.
Hope someone can put a id on either of these items. I couldn't find anything out about them.
I found some other stuff to. I'll post it after this weekends hunts. I got permission to hit a old yard. I'm trying to get the time together to do it. Hopefully this weekend.
Thanks for the idea and help.
