Seated Libert Quarter, two bells, and... a hand grenade fuze?

Seated Liberty Quarter, two bells, and... a hand grenade fuze?

So I got to go out today and search a park in a seedy town about 20 minutes from where I live. It looked like it was going to be a rough day, as I dug two Trojan condom wrappers, two plastic cement tubes which the junkies huff to get high, and about 20 malt liquor bottle caps. Luckily I went a bit farther into the woods and on a knoll I found a rusty jackknife, a toasted Indian Head Penny, and an 1876 Seated Liberty Quarter! Strangely enough, it's the exact same date as Scrappy's quarter that he found yesterday.

I also went out yesterday to a hay field and found a few neat bells and then stopped by a reservoir, where I found a hand grenade fuze. The powder train is all gone, which is a good thing. I checked on the numbers and it appears to be military, but no idea how it ended up there.








Wait a minute, this isn't jewelry!

Nice M228 fuze!

That jewelry is classy as well, haha.

LOL. The pull tabs sound good when they fold them up like that. That is drunk's jewelry.

Nice quarter--very happy for you! (And thanks for the story--nice to actually read something!)

Way to go on the Seated! Great choice on heading deeper into the woods. Love the bells too.

Nice find on the quarter and bells. A hand grenade fuse the things we find with a metal detector. HH

I have to admit that yours looks a bit nicer haha

Yours is nicer: it's a CC!!! But. As my pal Carolina Tom once told me. "Who cares if you found two supermodels as long as you can have one"...or something like that...I think he used the word bang in there somewhere lol

That had to be a bucket list coin for you. I know it's one of mine. With all the tabs I dig, I thought of making a chain like we did in the 70s. The jewelry pic very funny.

Nah, it was on the wish list but not the old bucket list. The only seated liberty on the bucket list is that elusive 20 cent piece!

[park pirate]

[against the wind]

Well done, , your persistence paid off
Nice seated

 

[treblehunter]

Still eludes me, I have found a Quarter and a Half Dollar, and both were Contemporary Counterfeit! What are the odds? As Carolina Tom would say, I'm jelly.
Congrats, nice saves!
