Great assortment, what's the square silver thingy?

Re: Snow covered relic hunt PART 2 fat indian crotal bell pile'o'relics

i have no idea what the square silver things its an embossed piece of metal with like a log cabin wioth a wood fence around it , it had to be some sort of face plate to something, it is really cool looking up close almost like a stamped coin, the die work on this piece was pretty fine

Nice ford thingy. Those kerosene lantern knobs should have dates on them.. Everyone I have found had patent dates from the 1860's

the silvery thing with the cabin and fence on it looks like the boyhood home of Henry Ford. maybe had something to do with the Ford token and their 30th. anniversary. I have several of those tokens, even one with V8 in the radiator. I live in Redford thats about 6 miles from Henry Ford's boyhood home in Dearborn, Mich. Nice relics.........NGE

Excellent! That case looks like a cigarette case that all the cool guys use to carry before they all died from smoking. Monty

Re: Snow covered relic hunt PART 2 fat indian crotal bell pile'o'relics

Clad - That's the same bell you got isn't it? The site we were was pretty much like the one you hunted with us, but there was no new trash and I think that was the difference. Dan and I have already made plans to hit this place over and over and over until every last bit of metal is gone. You are welcome to come back this way anytime you want to - we had a lot of fun when you stopped by - and by all means, when you get a spot up north dan and I will shoot up that way. We talked about bringing a trash can to this site and filling it with nails and iron - gonna be some coins under that iron to be sure.

Dan - you need to get that copper chunk looked at, that may be one for a collector considering that it may have ridden here on a glacier!! That's super cool - I guess that means it's the oldest find of the day - probably like
6 million years old?

Sorry I didn't get back sooner... being the x-mas season and all I've been plenty busy. Let me know when and where and I'll join you guys! Come on spring!!! Or at least a ground softening reprieve from Mother Nature would work too. Does your bell have a drilled hole or was it forged with a square slot... If it has the square slot then it looks like it would match mine exactly. Ian and Dan, you guys blow me away with your dedication and research in finding those long forgotten spots to lay the coils down at. I have a few spots that I'm looking into... There is a old school house that I'm sure is virgin, just have to ask permission and if I get it, you guys will have to join in the hunt.

GREAT ASSORTMENT OF FINDS.

Re: Snow covered relic hunt PART 2 fat indian crotal bell pile'o'relics

clad the bell is identical to the one you have it was forged all the way no drill and it rings nicely too

I love the green coating on it it looks really cool like that i am not going to scrub it off.

I found that one about a mile away from where you found yours.
