Semi Key Date Coin From Oatman Mine

seger98 · Feb 13, 2008

Went back to the mine that I found that brass plate at & found this really nice AU 40 1915s Barber dime!!!!!! YES.... Also found a nice Indian Head penny 1907. Also I detected the area I belived to be a doctors tent, I do belive I was correct with that as I found a few screw on tops from what I would think was ointment tubes & alot of broken medicine bottles! Thanks again for looking, HH Seger98

I'm pretty darn sure it's a garter for holding up socks? guys use to wear them too. I've been finding alot of them out here in AZ at the old mining camps & back home in WI & the U.P. of MI. at lumber camps!

That's exactly what they are for. And nylons too. I found on a few days back. It has Velvet Grip embossed on it. Here is an old ad from 1896 for them.
