Made it out for a couple of short hunts near the city this weekend.
The first site is still loaded with targets. Lots of old trash mixed in with some cool relics at this lost neighborhood along the tracks.
The spoons here go back as far as the late 1700’s with the large pewter spoon bowl through 1950’s plated spoons.
This section of woods is loaded with reeds.
The piece in the lower right is new to me, but definitely some kind of music reed, here’s another view.
I grabbed a couple glass surface finds.
I believe this is a license that would have been screwed to a horse carriage allowing the driver to bring passengers into the city.
Here is a handful of relics.
I believe this is a watch winder “Boston Aug 1899”
Some roundness including an 1827 Largie.
The button in the center is a 2 piece Telegraph Messenger button, pic from web.
I’m in the longest silver coin slump ever and the contents of this would have made my year.
Other side of 1/2 cent bank token.
The holed tag/token has a “10” and “SPRING” stamped it. Also found a similar one online, not sure what this was for.
Good luck out there!
