Big Silver / Older Military Charm Bracelet / 'Mars' Padlock and Others

[floodplaindetector]

Finds are from a few weekend hunts since my last post.
All finds shown came from public city parks, old schools and one fairground. Most came from North Dakota with some coming from Minnesota.
My Deus 2 machine was used to pull most with my Manticore helping a little.

The 1937 half dollar was pulled last Saturday at a park only 7 miles from my house.
It was hiding in a very junky area, but I was able to get a repeatable quarter reading that spiked to half dollar numbers, so I was hopeful before I dug.
A unique find is that WWII era charm bracelet. I chased a deep lower tone signal and was rewarded with that bracelet. It even has a bomb on it.
That tiny car (see pic with indian head penny for comparison) was over 6 inches deep and read like a nickel. It was pulled not too far from the 1898 V nickel.
Another interesting find is that ‘Mars’ padlock. From my research Corbin lock company introduced their ‘Astronomy’ series of cabinet padlocks back around 1910.
I am thinking that small silver spoon is a sugar spoon. From the hall marks on the back, it is 83% silver and was made between 1870-1927.
The good for 5 cents token came from a ND town with a population of only about 40 people so it should be a decent one.

Thanks for taking a look!

Some nice finds Dave! I like the sugar spoon! That's pretty cool. I was out yesterday and was testing my new Nokta digging tool. It works quite well.

Great finds! Every time I see your post I say man I hate this guy and then I drool over all the finds. I like the Deere compact I found one like it about a year ago and it was quite heavy I thought maybe just maybe there’s some coins inside nope just sand.
Looking forward to your next post good luck!

Nice stuff again Dave, really enjoy what you are posting as you get a little bit of everything. If these come from some well work area than you are doing a excellent picking up these finds that many others have passed up as they thought it was trash or was not listening to those weak ones we love to hear. Many depends on what the meter says and don't want to dig the iffy signals, I learned with a no disc detector back in the early 70s and learn to listen to the signal size and how weak the signal was to tell the depth.
Many of us see a lot of finds posted, but no old finds or other thing, but your finds have always been older and a good verity showing you are a well season hunter as you dig many finds that many walk over as the meter show it is not in the numbers where coins read as.
Good luck on you next hunt and we expect to see some great finds again (I think we are getting spoiled)
