One man's trash......another ones' treasure

I had a good outing at a favorite 'old' dump site here in New Mexico recently. I especially like the three license plate toppers from the 1930s. Some of the other items are kinda hard to clean without really ruining them more than time has. Thanks for looking.

I see alot of silver in there! Love both old and new dump sites!:treasurechest::thumbsup:
 
nothing wrong with that garbage!

id take it
 
The deer herd is also a sweet recovery. So is the thunderbird. And silver caps it off.
 
great finds, great saves
 
Nice group of finds!
 
Allot of cool looking stuff, there looks to be allot of silver (coins and jewelry) I'm really interested in what looks like numerous tokens you found. Myself and I'm sure everyone else posting would love to see closeup pix of all those great finds. Congrats!
 
Looks like a button in the coin tray. Anything on it? Cool finds; like the deer, and the tray.

Nice recoveries on the plate toppers and other assorted tokens and coinage, keep it up.
 
I like the deer also. Looks like two mercurys on top of the coin pile.
 
I am with NOLA-Ken on this one, that Pabst Breweries item just jumped out at me. Awesome!!!!! But a lot of really cool finds there too, nice job!
 
I think that Pabst item is a tap-knob insert - but - Im not positive - are you detecting or sifting(?) - there are a lot of dumps around- most of them have way way too much metal to even attempt to detect.....Ive tried sifting at one - its exhuasting after awhile...
 
All of these finds were made with my Etrac and 5 inch Sunray coil. Dumps aren't easy to listen to, that's for sure. I alternate settings between 2 tone and multi, but best is to leave it wide open and watch for those 12-38's and up.
