Holy crap! I'd rather find that than a few silver coins myself (and I'm not a relic guy). A nice knife like that, with an old date etched in it like that...just amazing.

Olderactor, I feel you...I haven't been able to pull that many nice coins out lately, but I'm finding all these odd relics. I found an old eagle button today at the site of a former asylum, but the only coins I got were modern clad. Just gotta keep truckin.

That knife is outstanding. What makes it really cool is having the year on it and monogramed initials identifying it likely as a special gift for someone over a 100 years ago. Spectacular find. Congratulaitons!

Definitely be working the 1896-era city directory to find M.H., could be someone notable!
