Here are some of my better finds from the spring so far. My favorite was the KG III. I found my second SLQ ever and my first fatty IHP. Got a permission at a 1940's house that is about to be torn down and found an 1800's flat button, Colonial shoe buckle and 1/2 crotal bell buried deep in the yard. You just never know! I also found the old tire pressure gauge (patent date 1916) at the same location. Link to the YouTube video for some other finds not shown, including my first Coinstar machine find...2 silvers!

Great finds. I like that skeleton key and SLQ the best! Oh and the KG coin is cool too!

Nice bunch of finds. Still looking for my SLQ. I have one of those Schrader gauges at home.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. The IHP's that I've found so far this year have all been crusty and in lousy shape. That fatty, my first ever, is the best Indian that I have found so far this year. Odd.

Outstanding relics and coins. I miss that kind of age on stuff in Wisconsin. Great finds WD

So many wonderful finds in one post! :wow:

That King George III cleaned up beautifully, and it has a nice, clear date. What a terrific find! :notworthy:
