Went to one of my favorite sites over the weekend. I always find something interesting there.
I knew what it was as soon as I found it since it had that straight line over where the date should be. And they kept that same reverse for about 140 yrs. Once I fingernailed the crust away I could see it was green and 1862. What a nice patina.
Interestingly, the square brass piece is a British-made electric switch made by Diamond H. 1905-?
Also got the silver clover earring.
When I cleaned the Cadillac emblem it split in half, revealing that it’s a hidden trunk keyhole cover. 1964-1968.
How about that Simpsons die? Has all the characters on it. Dug it up with one of these finds.
That is the 3rd Stanhome ashtray? I’ve found.
Do you guys find these things too?
Thanks for looking.
