Silver Match Safe. Kinda.

[curbdiggercarl57]

Still hating Denver's lack of tearing down the houses that I wish to have torn down, any new evidence of ongoing construction, just missing the site of a lifetime or just the fact that I can't figure out which ex-girlfriend is sticking pins in the old Carl Voo-Doo Doll. Sumpin's up. Bad Juju. Need new Gris-Gris ingredients. Outside of Denver, bones are being thrown that I occasionally catch. One of them was this partial Sterling match safe, with the engraving of Denver upon it. Looks like someone at one time cut the front, to have as a keepsake. Had almost as much fun trying to get any photo evidence of the description then actually finding it.. At first I thought it showed the capitol, but it turns out that the building on the left was the Arapahoe County Court House, torn down in the 1930's. The middle building is the Brown Palace, still standing. Dates vary, between 1890-1900. Dug a ratty 1876 Seated Dime, too scary to photograph. Enjoy.

Here's the dime, as well as further evidence of bad luck. Dug this nice Mining era builder's plate, but wasn't wearing my trash pouch. So I put it in my front pocket so I wouldn't break. I broke it. I cried. Even others cried.
