Street Tear-Out yields BIG SLIVER pocket sundial

[Squirrel322]

For the past two nights I’ve been digging a street tear. First night I scooped up a 1879 Barber Dollar! Second night they tore up much more and I got 6 silvers, including a Walker and a Barber quarter! I also found the toasted remains of an Egyptian revival pocket sundial.










This is what the sundial looked like in its prime -



Thanks for looking!

Are you a flying squirrel ? 😂
Great finds.

Awesome! Sundial is cool. Any chance of a de-crust or you think it's just going to wipe the details off.

Yikes! There aren't enough superlatives for all those finds, especially the ever-elusive Morgan- Huge Congrats!

What’s that sundials casing made of? Nice finds..

I believe it’s brass.

I think I can eventually get it de-crusted. The area on the back where you can see the Egyptian motif is an area I de-crusted.

I never thought I would find one. Then two years ago I dug one! I never expected to find another

That will work…. be nice if it was silver 👍 but still a nice find.
