Twilight find

[DirtyDeedsDugDirtDeep]

I was out till it was too dark to see what I was digging yesterday,but I managed to find what I thought was a religious medal or medallion.
It was down about 6-7" ; and the Etrac had no trouble picking this 2-1/4" baby up.
It was too dark and the find was too dirty to be sure what the heck it was.
But to my surprise, it turned out to be an early Dodge car emblem.
I know Chrysler bought out the Dodge Bros ,but when...... maybe in the 20's ?????
It's not very corroded,but the enamel is flaking quite a bit.
Might still have some $$$ value to a collector

I just looked on ebay and these things are anywhere from $22.00 to $93.00.
Quite a price spread !!
It appears they were radiator ornamentation and date to the 20's,maybe early 30's

Neat Find. I found one just like it except mine is about the size of a dime. I think it was a lapel pin.

Nice find. hard to stop digging some times.

You got that right !!
I had hit a good positive signal just before I packed it in , but I was down 7-8 inches and just couldn't see anymore ; so I reluctantly filled in the hole without finding the item.
Nobody else hunts this area as it's private , so I should be able to go back and find the location if I don't wait too long.
