    Egyptian Buzzard God?

    I think it may be a condor. That may mean it’s from a South American artist.

    A weird thing i found today

    Is it heavy? Is it light? Can you bend it easily?

    Something different

    Pardon my ignorance, but: What is it?

    Didn't think there would be much there...boy was I wrong

    Sounds like the field surface was scraped and dumped in the area you’re finding the goodies.

    Went to a couple of parks

    Used from 1902 to present. Check the backmark and you may narrow it down to WWI or II

    Here’s the scoop:

    If it’s just tarnish, I use just white toothpaste. If it’s thick, caked-on minerals, I use a homemade electrolysis contraption to break up the black stuff.

    Any info on this buckle?

    Could it be an “I” for infantry?

    Detecting Bonus Cash

    Going by the top line, it reads: lead-47lb-$23.50. That’s the only line I see that shows lead. About 1/3 of a 5gal bucket

    Detecting Bonus Cash

    About $2/lb according to the top line.

    That’s a great idea!

    Detecting Bonus Cash

    This years collection of various metals nets almost $300. I have 5 Gal buckets for copper, brass, aluminum, and lead. The cleaner it is, the more you get paid. If I had a giant tumbler, I could get it shiny, but this is just dirty metal. Feels good to get that stuff out of the ground and recycled.

    Killer button this morning.

    That type eagle, facing right, was used from 1851-1941. Since the back is rusted out(steel back), it was probably closer to 1941, or even a replacement button made after 1941.

    More UK civil war finds

    That’s an incredible find! I’m assuming the lead was poured into a soapstone mold of some kind. What I don’t understand is how the huge rectangular piece is still intact. Is there any evidence of a mold seam on the balls where the molds would come together? That would be a museum worthy piece...

    Finds today

    It’s a 1929/1930 Model 91 radio

    An odd mixture of items and help requested from Civil War ammunition buffs

    Look closely on the flat face of the fishing reel for the name of the reel. Also, the valve stem cap will have information written at the base of the cap. Possibly “Schrader”. Nice truck

    Bucketlister Not On List

    Can you take a pic of the back for us?

    1920’s permission yields a few cool finds.

    Check the back of the Texan button. That type of button almost always has a patent date of 1924.

    Poor Farm Button

    All of the K of P buttons I’ve seen have a lily on them. Flat buttons are typically before the 1860s. Why do you think it’s K of P tencents?

    Dandy button from last weekend

    Great find! Can we see the back?
