Rare Find !!

[FortBedfordbob]

Now I'm not one to say " Banner " for one of my own finds but In all of my 21 + years of Metal Detecting and 15 years of being on line surfing the forums I have never seen one of these posted !
Boy ! Has it been Hot and Humid around here lately. The day started off not really knowing where we should go. We decided to Hunt a house built in 1860 owned by a friend of mine that lives near here. The little town that she lives in had had so much History walk through it over the years. Any place in the town has great potential for Metal Detecting. I gave Mach 1 a call to let him know where DeArmitt and I were headed and invite him Along for the hunt. I've had a Blast the past year or so Hunting with Mach 1, his son and of course DeArmitt. We we arrived we started sweeping the yard a neighbor walked over and introduced himself. We talked for a bit and he gave us permission to Hunt his property that at one time there was a church on it that had burnt down about 75 years ago. So we headed across the road and started Detecting the lot that the Church had been on. Right off the bat DeArmitt found that 1920 Buffalo Nickel. After Digging some Clad I got myself into the shade of a house on the next property. When I first dug this, with the dirt still clinging to it, I thought I had a piece to an old gas lamp. As I brushed the dirt off of it and saw what it was I had to laugh and show the other guys. It's all Fun

That's pretty rare I had to go back and vote for ya What would it hurt for a little comic relief on the banner? ... besides, it's rare right?

i agree on the banner, clean it up and put it on the shelf or all to see.

That is a very rare hood ornament for a buggy, that was obviously pre automobile! I vote banner for sure... Besides I think you guys take this treasure stuff way too seriously... HH M.

That dogs hilarious, though he looks like he needs to have his butt cleaned!
Beautiful old key . . . I wonder if that was a key to the church that burnt down?

I don`t know about banner just yet. You need to go back and recheck the hole. Looks to me like there should be something else in there. Find the rest and I`ll vote banner.

Cool find Bob! But it's actually a joke toy .It came with little "tablets" that when inserted and lit would grow , like the snakes they sell around the 4th of July .My grandfather had one ,it's around here somewhere ,I'll post it when I find out where my wife put it.

Thanks DisplacedBuckeye, for clarifying what exactly this piece is.

 

[robfinds]

Nice one, that's what the banner is all about . I vote banner.

 

[CMDiamonddawg]

good advice mm , re check the hole something full of crap makes banner man , that is rare like it a lot ..another vote for " poop dog " !!

 

[relic lover]

OK first I would pay to see that on the banner! 2nd I think it is the top to a string dispenser.

 

[gmanlight]

I know , its a original play-dough toy

 

[relic lover]

That has to be the original Ford hood ornament

 

[DisplacedBuckeye]

No it really is a joke toy . I've seen it in action,it's funny for about 2 seconds then kinda gross .The "snakes" would actually come out the tale end after you light them .My grandmother made grampa keep it in the garage.My wife absolutely hates it,packed it away along with the poop pellets . Guess it's more of a guy thing.
