Old Property - Good Day

[TheLittleMan]

I found several great things today in SW Wisconsin, including the 10k gold class ring from 1931. I got the 1942 Mercury dime and the 1919S wheat penny from the same corner of the yard. The bird tag with a leg bone still inside was probably my strangest find so far. There's also a Palmolive token (for a free "cake" of soap) that I haven't yet dated.

Great finds!! Is there a name in the ring? The band and leg bone is one weird find!

There's initials. The home-owner's family has been on that property since the 1890s. She busted out their genealogy book to see if the initials matched anyone, but they couldn't find any. She figures they've enough events out there that it's just a lost ring from a long-last acquaintance. She said I could keep it, no worries!

A bird band with the leg bone in it,how unlikely and unusual is that?Nice ffinds,I like ,em.

 

[kindafoundabuckle]

Never found a bone in band. Mine are always boneless. Cool

 

[xr7ator]

1932. That's one old class ring! 89 plus 18 means whomever's ring that was is, or would be, 107 years old.

Be sure to double check that 42 merc for the elusive 42 over 1 mint error.

Love the ring. Congrats!

Wheaties love finding them. Nice ring.looks like the kids had fun.

I've actually sent the band off to MD and they'll see if they can etch out the numbers and give me some info on what actually died and when, so that's pretty awesome.

Thanks. Like I said, hopefully the brid banding agency will have some info for me on it, age and species and all that. If it's a bird now on my life list, I'm counting it. I've seen the bone in the wild! ha.
