Todays hunt was a "BUST"

Took some time out today to hunt a foundation spot, the whistle was about 4 inches down, then about an hour later this little beauty rang in at about 9 inches down next to a huge maple tree. I literally spent about 20 mins digging this out from under the roots from the tree, at least my work payed off.
enjoy the pics,

cleaned my whistle, was very surprised on its quality, could this have belonged to a cop?
the site im hunting belonged to a guy who had 17 children, his 4th child was a merchant marine, worked on a whaling ship & also served in the union army in the civil war, upon his return, he lived out his years where he was born. (hense the eagle belt plate found here about 3 weeks ago) I learned this by researching info and maps at the local library.

Is that whistle silver? Sure did clean up nice to be a ferrous metal.

nickle plated brass aprox 1930s

Wow , what a gem ! Great find - I have no problem calling that a BANNER find - Argentium.

I sure appreciate the gesture, but I doubt its worthy. maybe on the research, ive traced this site back to everyone who lived there, or maybe if the belt plate and bust were in the same post.

Excellent find!!!

Holed, too!

Not that it matters, but I'm voting "BANNER"!

thanks again

Great finds, its about time you found something like that up there. How many years did it take five or so? Now you have found a Kennedy, Franklin, Walker, Barber, Seated and busted in that order.

Great Job man !!

Keep @ it and HH !!
