Got permission to hunt an old home today and turned out an 1909-S Lincoln (that's still soaking so I can see if it has the V.D.B on the back) and the best watch fob that I've ever found. I knew the place would turn out some nice stuff since all I was finding were mason jar lids....Tell me something folks, am I the only one that keeps the porcelain sealers
I was talking to relikhunter earlier and he says he keeps them too.... Are we keeping junk I keep all the intact ones that I find.... I know they can't be worth anything right Well, anyway.......the house didn't produce like I thought because there was tons of trash everywhere. Not new trash mind you but the likes of old tin cans, the mason jar lids, roofing tin, and nails. I know there has too be silver there and probably some Indians of so...I'll have to take my small coil up there, per advice of my good bud relikhunter, and try it. Maybe that will help..... Besides the 09 wheatie and the fob I only found one more coin and it was a 37 wheatie. Oh, after Alex and I called it a day and turned the detectors off I found a couple good points on the creek beside the house. The land owner gave us some history of the house before we hunted and also said that he finds points and pieces of points on his property and in the creek bed every time he goes out too look. So, Alex and I decided to give it a try. Lucked up on the two points (they weren't beautiful) but they were full points.... We gave them too the land owner. He couldn't believe that we were giving them too him. Ofcourse that sealed the deal that I could come back and hunt anytime we like... Always nice to give something back right
The watch fob pic came out pretty good except for the bottom.... It reads, ROAD MACHINERY and below that it has the same symbol that's at the top which is the diamond with A-C in it. The back reads, ALLIS-CHALMERS, TRACTOR DIVISION, MILWAUKEE USA, METAL ARTS CO, ROCH N.Y...... I'm guessing that ROCH is Rochester.. If anyone has any info on the fob please feel free to send it... Can anyone give me an age on it??
Enjoy the pic folks....
