Some Interesting Relics from FL

[cambria09]

Hello All. I dug these items with Btoots at a wooded site that has an old road running thru it to a long gone 1890's home site.

Got the usual miscellaneous items and a few unusual ones including a melted silver spoon pc, a glass insulator, a coin changer, a tiny vintage style lock, and part of gun.

The gun looks to be nickel plated brass and seems like it was made to be concealed or for someone with a small hand.

Also dug a strange looking gold?? ring...probably copper though.

Thanks for the view Good Luck out there. C9

That’s it!

Spanish Forgery. Makes sense Murder weapon destroyed in the woods.


Here is the tell tale hinge mark NOT on the real Smith & Wesson. I also think it’s NOT a series one 3rd issue because the but end of the grip would be more rounded.

It took the serial#s from a 3rd issue and applied it to a more modified earlier issue looking model so that they can seem credible...
