So this is a collection of things that I dug at a few early 1900's houses in town.
I'm still detecting at the 1910 house pictured. It has a large backyard and I'm gridding it off to be thorough.
I was excited to dig two WW1 general service eagle buttons. One large and one cuff button.
The large one has a Scovill back mark. Can't make out the back mark on the cuff button.
I hit on a hot spot in the yard yesterday where I belive a clothesline may have been. I dug a vintage aluminum clothes pin and then about 15 wheat pennies parallel to the fence, about 2 feet from the fence. There are still more signals but I had to leave for the day.
This yard has me baffled. The owner said someone detected it a few years ago. I'm finding relics and coins, but not one silver coin! Only a silver earring.
The 1892 IH and 1990 Two Pence were found in this yard too.
The large round "G" emblem is a vintage Masonic Freemason car grill emblem. I saw one in way better shape than mine on Ebay for $125.
I will be making this home owner a relic shadowbox as my way of thanking her.
The other piece of sterling pictured looks to be from a bracelet possibly. That came from another yard where I also dug the worlds smallest lion cookie cutter.
The highlight of my week though was a sterling and diamond ring that I dug at a third house. The diamond looks to be about 1/3 carat and tested positive on my diamond tester. YAHOO!
I know it wasn't the current owners ring because it was at least 6" down in the front yard and she just bought the house about a year ago.
Sorry for the cheesy photos. Been so busy lately I just wanted to get something posted.
Have a great week,
MM
