Relic day. I'm beginning to appreciate you guys even more.

You guys that go out and brave the elements, knowing that you more than likely won't find any coins/rings/etc. But, rather go looking for real history. When you're out there and finding bits and pieces of lumps of dirt and metal. You feel like you're not finding anything but garbage metals. It's when you get them home and clean 'em up a bit, that you begin to see.

This was just supposed to be another "battery fund" day at another local school. But, I got too hot out in the sun. There happened to be a little stream running the length of the perimeter and it was in the shade. Sooooo, I followed it along.








Looks like a scroll "A" inscribed there.




Kinda neat.



Here's one of those little lumps of metal.
Looks like nothing in the field, or even at home, at first.



Until, you look at it in just the right way!
Kind of awesome that such a delicate/ornate piece survived like this one did.



Even an old pocket watch, (not still ticking. )



Well. That's my two cents worth.

Kudos to all you relic hunters!

Thanks! That helps in knowing the era of the area. What about a headstamp that actually says Luger 9mm? Interesting marking.

Don't know about the 9mm but here's a link to shotgun headstamps I find useful.

Nice relic haul! Congrats! There's treasure every where you go !

Is Blingie thinking about jumping thru that? With all his bling on he'll never make it!
