Ive been out hunting a few times and have not bring with me the camera.. But some of the places has been good! I have dig allot of crap.. Bottle caps etc.
Allot of mixed finds, the first we go of with is the Jaguarmatic toy gun, i did get a little nervous when i did start to dig it up, i did cut of some roots that did grow over it and it looked first like an real one, but after i did get it up its a 70's nice condition toy gun ;D

Next coming up is 2 buttons, the one at the right side is charming i think, and looks older. The one at the left side i don have a clue what sort of button this is, but it does stand: ''Great Seal Of The State Of Oklahoma/Oklanoma? -1907- its fun that so many US things keep popping up here in Sweden :tongue3:

Here we have 3 pins two of them are intact, the one on the right side is not but in greater condition than the others. What can i say, old and beautiful!

This is the far yet biggest skeleton key i ever have seen, i did find it on a wooden path up on a big hill, i think it's been thrown away, how can you drop something this big? And don't find it again, its really heavy and old.

925 silver, properly from the 1800? You can actually see that the ring once been broken, but repaired, and not a too good looking repair.

When me and Nh did decide that now its time to go home, on our way back to our bags and so on, i did get a hard signal and i did think to my self: hmm.. shall i dig, do i have the energy, i can just let it be? But i did come to my senses and i did dig it, and good that i did, after a few digs i did pick up an Mondia watch, after cleaning it, i did try the function. I did turn the button thing on the watch that's on the right side, and it did start to tick, wow, the f**king watch works!!! :headbang: I have not yet been able to find the age or the model name, but wild guess 70-80's.

AND the last one, i did save this one, tho i think this is cool, you can See that its an cartridge and some paper, when i dug it i did see that they turned the cartridge to an whistle, i have found one of this before but broken. When i cleaned the inside, as usuale some dirt, but then i did see something else, paper in the cartridge whistle?! The first part that did come out is not possible to See any letters, but the last one must have been preserved good, the words are in older Swedish, the cartridge is dated 1892!!!
Its just some sentens, but i think this soooo coool! Maby I'm the first one, over 100 years to read some of it :thumbsup:

Thx Stevo, i understand if you want it ;D But i have searched some, and i found another link on Google that leads to T-net that another one found a button like this, but it did stand Oklanoma instead of Olkahoma, and they did talk about if it was an Chinese copy or not. I did not see that they did come to an conclusion? But how can i see if its a fake?
Maby a print error?///Tsh
 
Great Finds an Pix! Thanks for showing!!! :thumbsup:
 
These are wonderful finds! WOW! (that's the only Swedish word that I know, lol.) My favorites that you found are the two buttons and the pin with the running goat, very nice. Very handsome watch too. Can you please tell us some facts about your avatar, which I think is awesome? Thanks. Andi

Thx Andi, it does stand somethin about salary's and some work related thing? I like the buttons too, the one on the right side i think is old?
The watch is in stainless steal so it was just for me to brush it and it looked like new, and it works ;D

About my avatar, Archaeologist did find an shipgrave from Early Vendel time = about 600-1400 year old ship. They did find it on the south west part of Sweden in a lake named Vänern. Besides other things like a swords,shields and so on, this helmet was there. So he/she would have it with to the afterlife. I wish i had found it... :tongue3: Thx for reading and comment!///Tsh
