Recently Recovered Rusty Relics and Roundness

[Tony Two-Cent]

Me and DaddyDigger got together for a few hours this past Sunday for a hunt at a couple of sites. It was a beautiful day weather-wise and the ground was moist and easy to dig.

At the first old park I found 2 Indian Heads, 3 wheat cents and 2 Rosies.

At the second park I found a couple more wheaties and a 1941 Canadian Cent.

Here are all of the coins I found:



And the keepers:



Relics:



Any ideas what this might be? It has a triangular cross section and appears to be nickel plated brass.



I liked this old finial:




I found this 1898 Barber Dime on my lunch hour on Monday at an old park:





Rusty Nail. :cheesysmile:




Thanks for looking and happy hunting! :beerbuddy:

Nice looking fins Tony!

Rusty nail....:coffeelaugh:. Again, a nice fistful of keepers. The number of IH's that you recover always amaze me. Me, I'm lucky to get one or two about every month. Detecting at lunch must be a great way to break up a work day. :thumbsup02:

"Rusty Nail" :lol: Good one!

Nice pile of keepers as usual Tony! :thumbsup01:
Congrats! :grin:
For a minute I thought maybe you forgot about the Barber dime. :shocked01::lol:

Was thinking the same thing as Timmy about the dime. Nice finds. The IH are looking good. Didn't realize until I saw the caption for the photo about ol' Rusty. The hook.. Not sure what it could be used for. Does the thick end look broken? I was thinking it was a bit large for a candle dipper. The ones now are thin rods but same length. I do figure it was purposely made from triangular shaped brass to make it stronger. Possibly part of antique ice block tongs?

Lol I thought you forgot about the barber also lol great hunt had some keepers and a barber has still eluded my coil Congrats on the barber looks to be in good shape and as always gotta love them IH's :thumbsup02:

 

[Skamaniac]

The dime is a beaut! Curious about the hook too. Hope you get an answer.

 

[Full Metal Digger]

Congrats Tony on all your good finds. The Barber is in very nice condition. Probably dropped in 1899. Having held the large hook item in my hand I can tell everyone it is very well made from high-quality material. Frozen ground this weekend so I will not be detecting. :girlcry:

:thinkingabout: I'm not sure how big one would be but for some reason I was thinking maybe a horse hoof cleaning tool.
But they're usually not hooked so much .:dontknow:

Awesome finds! If I went detecting during lunch, I wouldn't want to go back to work.
