Something For Everyone

[OxShoeDrew]

I hope everyone is enjoying the run up to the holidays. Personally, this is a ridiculously busy time of the year as I have to buy the gifts, prepare the house, etc, but I also have to put on concerts and take students on field trips.
I'd still find time to detect if the temps were anywhere near freezing...but alas they're not.

1-The following represents some hunts between the last time the ground froze and when it froze again this week. Not pictured is a whiped copper. The eagle button still has cloth on it!! The ring is sterling.

2-I presented the tray of finds to a local historical foundation last week. They were found over the past few months.

3-Anyone know what that switch-comb thing is?

Thanks, everyone and stay warm!

NICE assortment of goodies. I think one side of the switch comb is missing. It's opens like a pocket knife. Here's hoping your spring thaw is an early one! Merry Christmas.

Judging by the teeth, it's a horse comb used to get burrs out of their tail and mane.

Nice bunch of finds especially all the relics. Congrats/ WD

I was wondering if the comb was maybe an advertising item. I've seen some fine tooth aluminium combs that were freebie advertisements for a local business. I'll have to go through my ring box. I think I've found that ring before. Maybe it was a buddies? IDK. I know I've seen that ring before and it had a whiteish stone in it. Sweet little find!
It was cool of you to donate a shadow box of relics to the local historical foundation too!
The rest of the shiny stuff ain't too shabby either!
Congrats Drew!

Just guessing on the comb.....maybe a lice comb. Some great finds and kudos for the donation to the historical society.

We're back!

Great finds, Drew! I remember those switchblade combs. We used to win them at the County Fair when I was a kid.

Very nice silver ring! It's a looker!

Really nice Drew! I plan to give some of my honey field finds to the local town historical society also and I like your presentation. I was tempted to try and do a hunt this weekend as we're gonna get a brief thaw, but like you, it's just too busy a time of year for me (bedroom remodel, holiday stuff + family coming into town next week etc.).
