    Sharp Morgan Silver Dollar and Others

    Great finds and great job! I still haven't found a silver dollar. I found a Morgan belt buckle once but I don't count that. That's an odd shape for a soap coupon. I like the One Centavo coin too. What's the dome shaped button? Anything on front or back? And what's the flat thing above the...

    Is this some kind of oiler?

    I found this with a metal detector since the end of it is brass. It doesn't look like steam engine oilers do. It's also a lot smaller as you can tell by the penny. No text on the glass or the brass. Thanks for any input.

    Harmonica cover makes sense. Found 1 whole harmonica and 2 pieces at same location.

    Heel Plate?

    Aha! Now I know what this is. Thanks

    Found this at a site that is loaded with interesting relics. I think it may have something to do with winning awards in Vienna, Austria/ Ulm, Germany/ Stuttgart, Germany/ Philadelphia, PA. Maybe that's the only places this product was available. The last date is 1881, so I'm guessing it dates...

    Double your cents

    Every Christmas, I give my 2 grandsons all my dirty clad and make them do the hard work of cleaning them. It’s usually a couple hundred $.

    Silver at $50 Gold at $4000

    Civil engineering, surveying, and 3D scanning. We’ve gone from 25 crews to 12 crews this year. It’s been a predictor of recessions since the 1980s. I hope it’s wrong this time.

    Burnt?

    Silver at $50 Gold at $4000

    This may be good for detectorists, but high gold prices always mean something bad is happening with the economy. My workplace has seen steady decline since the beginning of this year. It worries me.

    Need help with old British coin

    Here’s some pics with better contrast. It looks like a feminine profile. I couldn’t tell you if it’s globe or pillars. I was hoping you could. Found it! You got me on the right track. Bad news is: It’s a fake! This is supposed to be gold, but alas, it’s brass. It must have had gold plating once...

    Need help with old British coin

    I found a street that was scraped down to the original soil. There were 2 layers of concrete sandwiching a layer of asphalt, then a rock base. A railroad track ran down the center of the street back when it was just a dirt road. There was still an edge of the railway ballast visible so that’s...

    Imperial name plate

    No attachment points. Some kind of adhesive?

    Imperial name plate

    I found this pic of a 1940s-1950s Imperial wood lathe. It’s very similar and maybe a 1920s-1930s nameplate would match.

    That dome was 200’ tall

    Yeah, I was shocked how great it looked. Usually those old centavos are toasted.

    Imperial name plate

    I've tried to find a Chrysler/Imperial that might have had this name plate but none have looked like this. It's made of solid brass so I figured it must be pre-WWII. It could have come from some type of appliance or machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    1891 was the last one. A huge flood sealed the fate of future Corn Palaces there. The huge recovery costs left nothing for frivolity.

    Every site is like a history lesson, if history was fun.

    Today’s lesson: “The Corn Palace Folly” and “Fiberglass” In 1887, the people of Sioux City, Iowa decided to build a palace completely covered with corn and corn parts, everything corn. The first year was such a hit, they built it even bigger the following year resulting in hand-over-fist profits...
