October 9th back to the curb tearout site

I tried finding the rest of the gold broach but no luck, I did manage to finds some keepers though. The mini plate was right under the middle of where a section of the sidewalk had been removed and the dirt was undisturbed since 1899 (in the sidewalk), I was after the target that says Tower's on it and the plate popped out first. I managed to eyeball a marble, the square thing with designs in two corners I think is a cufflink (says Swank on the back). Got a small button but the shank is busted off, some wheats and a crusty Indian.

Way to reel in those oldies. You take great photos, what camera do you use? I used to have a good setup but it is now out of date with todays computers.

I've got the Sony DSC-H50 and it's been a really great camera, it's an SLR and fully automatic, even macro is automatic on it. There sure are a lot of feature's on these new digital camera's now. When I was in the service I bought one of the first fully automatic SLR's but back then they were 35mm, taking pictures and going to the photolab were my hobby when I was in Vietnam.

Everything you found is great, but I think the little plate would find a special place or use.

Nice coins and relics Giant. I agree with Jim, your photos are always outstanding. Cute plate.....part of a child's tea set?
