Rookie mistake!

[Texas Yankee]

So, I just got home from a very short hunt at the old dumpsite and after making a rookie mistake (low battery), called it a quits when my machine turned off on me.

But.... I was still able to fish out a few goodies...


I was out this past weekend hunting with China Jim in Columbus NM and forgot to change my batteries before going out this morning.[emoji15] bummer! However, I still managed to surprise myself and not leave empty handed , lol. [emoji16]

Columbus NM finds from Saturday.


Enjoy the pics...

Nice, the US Army medical department sure tossed out alot of treasures for us to find!
Any visible information on that dog tag?

 

[Texas Yankee]

They sure did, lol.

Tried cleaning it but it's hard to take the crime off. I managed to get some of it off on the flip side. Took a pic holding it in front of the mirror.

Great looking finds as usual!!!

Always good to keep a necessity pack in your vehicle with batteries for your detector and pinpointer and an extra coil bolt.

Looks like George R. Banks got his Tetanus shot in 1941. Tried to find more info about him online, found this but I'm not sure that this is the same guy:

It's a mistake you will only make once I hope...

The Luxury Tax token is from Louisiana. It's aluminum and valued at 1 mill , less than a cent. I found one last week.

Very cool finds.
I'm not sure of George R Banks Military record, as in what Units he served, but the DUI Shield you also found belongs to the 82 Field Artillery
