Good evening everyone
Got a new permission 1923 home in the historic part of town. Wow what a place . Better fines so far 1926 SLQ, large sterling ring, sterling silver thimble , American bottlers of carbonated beverages medal, fob ? 1911 39th fireman?s convention held in Milwaukee and a number of other cool items. First day about a hour or so found the SLQ, large sterling ring , a fireman?s delegate pin , sterling thimble and the American bottlers of carbonated beverages medal/fob not sure of the date of these two thinking 1910-1920?s if any one knows please let me know . Decided to go back this morning for a bit of a slower hunt. And it all started again, out pops what looks to be maybe the upper part of a ribbon possibly to one of the convention medals daters Aug 1 1899 ? Than the beautiful lower portion of the 1911 fireman?s association medal
This one I was able to find the complete example on line. Will certainly be going back matter this week. But I think it is safe to say someone liked conventions. The American bottlers of carbonated beverages I have seen other examples from different years but with out the upper portion I can?t be certain of the year . If anyone has info on any of these please feel free to share the info. Thanks everyone and keep swinging

What a great place to search!
 

Nice saves! I like that thimble a lot!
 

Awesome finds! I am so jealous!
 

Very Nice!!! Silver Thimbles are Cool!!! SLQ's too!!! Congrats!!!
 

I'd be hitting that spot again. Thanks for sharing and grats on all the keepers.
 

A sweet treasure haul there - very nice! Every thimble I've found was flat or mostly... :notworthy:
 

i was very fortunate, this was my second one I have found. The first was perfect . This one was flat as a pancake. Used my ring sizer tool to open it and reshape it ,turned out pretty good I think
 

Very interesting finds...and a great time period...I imagine you'll be scouring this area again...especially after a good rain...who knows what else is there...

Thimbles like that are way better then finding coins! Does it have any writing or initials in it and can you take some more pics of it?
