    half dime

    I connected the dots and showed the cuts. Ignore the squiggle in the upper right area. I fat-fingered that. Can you make out anything?

    New field

    Is the small coin above the spoon a silver dime? It looks like it has a shiny edge. Don’t throw that stuff away or you’re throwing away $$$. I save brass, copper, aluminum, and lead in separate buckets. I make over $200 twice a year at the metal recycler.

    Back out to the pasture

    Is that token a Studebaker Electric?! They made electric cars from 1992-1912! That’s awesome! Hit that thing with a steel brush and it will bring out some of the details.

    A Few More Finds Before Winter Slammed the Door

    What you think is a bale seal is probably a boxcar seal. I think it’s from the AM.RY.EX.CO. Do a little research and you might find an American Railway Express Co. that merged into the American Railway Express Agency during WWI. There were several Express companies before WWI using railroads...

    World’s Fair token

    Here’s an example of an aluminum token from the 1878 Paris World’s Fair. I’m thinking mine isn’t from a Paris Fair since all the text is in French.

    Thanksgiving hunts in west Texas.

    I've always wanted to go hunting in west Texas but never got around to it until I had a few days off during Thanksgiving. I don't really recommend it since it was the most boring trip I've ever taken and there's nothing good to eat out there. The first pick is from a spot I’ve been to twice...

    World’s Fair token

    I’ve tried searching for this token on line with no luck. Haven’t tried any official token books or databases. Would like to know which World’s Fair this might have been. France hosted in 1855, 1858, 1861, 1867, 1878, 1889, and 1900. Kinda looks like Napoleon III. Aluminum. Found in far west...

    Strange bullet shape

    Found this projectile in far west Texas. Did someone just repurpose this bullet?

    Just got a new rumbler for cleaning wow!

    Here’s one of my secret weapons. Electric ice cream maker. Take out the stirring mechanism. Lean it over about 45deg or so. Throw in a bunch of filthy, crusty coins. Turn it on for however long you can stand it. It makes its own grit with all the dirt coming off. Rinse and dry. Good enough...

    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.

    Please help ID this badge, seal, strap, or whatever.

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

    Thank you very much!

    Heel Plate?

    Aha! Now I know what this is. Thanks

    Please help ID this badge, seal, strap, or whatever.

    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.

    deteriorating coin

    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.
