    Foundation revisited

    Got out of work early today so raced back to the foundation I was at yesterday and had a couple hours of daylight to play. Had visions of finding my first silver bust coin today but it was not to be. Didn;t make out as well as yesterday coin wise but did manage some relics. Found an old insulator that was wrapped in copper wire that says Whiteall Tatum No. 3 Made in USA 20-47 Also foudn an old flat button which does have a back mark I can;t read but have it soaking now. Also found a tip to something as well as an old stopper that says...Hold Fast Unlosable Stopper.... they obviously lied...

    Those are neat relic's. Is the insulator worth anything?

    Dave....I have no clue as to if it has any value. I don;t think it is super old and does not date back to the foundation. There is a road nearby and power lines so am pretty sure this is a more modern insulator,

    The hunt may not have turned out like you were hoping for but I am sure a return visit will get you back on some goodies like you had on the first hunt! thumbsup01

    yeah the insulator looks like a newer one but are still neat finds , but i bet ya the guy that designed that stopper (unlosable stopper)was related to the the guy who designed the Titanic ( unsinkable ship) don't know how people can make such bold statements on items .
