Thanks Tony. Odd how further research I can narrow down the manufacture date a bit, but it was after the mill building was gone. Drew, I did find the maker. It must be International Silver which was a collection of silversmiths from New England. The J.S. Co (with the C W for Watrous...

Yesterday since a permission didn't go through I decided to hit a public place. There is an old mill site but it is off in the woods and I was hoping no one ever thought to check this site before. There might be some potential here but I will need to bring my machete to cut the small brush. The...

Thanks Isaac. Nickels aren't usually that easy to come by for some odd reason. Anyway, I forgot to add the piece of the toy gun I pulled up...and I looked back at my previous started threads and this never made it here. It only made it to the group forum on FB. It was just a meager find but I...

I haven't been out in a while if anyone actually paid attention I haven't been on the forum much either. Just after memorial day I had to put up with something I have been dealing/battling with for almost 10 years now... no, not the significant other. :lol: Then last week after doing the yard...

This is what I was talking about. I can see the cap which you were referring to and I circled it. There just happens to be only one line on the bottom of the bust for the post. Nothing creates a 'V' shape. And nothing with a similar back like the matron has a 'V' shape on the obverse to rule out...

I depleted my energy both days this weekend...but, the last time I was out was a short hunt on Memorial weekend so I was in MD withdrawals. Later saturday I went out to an area where I have a bunch of cellar holes to hit. Throughout my different hunts there this year it seems certain holes are...

Still for some reason I haven't been digging up coins for the last few hunts. The coil has been put over a bunch of relics, tho. Today I went to a few cellar holes at the other end of an old road. It gave me a chance to try out new pants which work well for briers. I was hoping these spots being...

Lol. I thought there was gonna be a close up to show. Anyway, is this what you and Tony were seeing? I could only make it out from the first pic. The other two obverse I coulnd't see a date or partial date.

The warm weather is finally here. I could only handle half a day of work bs....:lol: . After getting some lunch I went up to a place I found has a ridic amount of cellar holes. The first one I hit was near a parking area for a wooded park. I didn't expect much as it was right off the main road...

Drew, the pin, or saddle strap guide plate as Dan said once he saw the back, sounded really good. The compact sounded a bit choppy, tho. Since it was big but reading with the VDI of a penny or dime, it sounded half way between an aluminum can and a penny. Like the randomness of the VDI when...

Yesterday I finally got a day set up for detecting a permission site. When the owner told me there is a possibility of ties to the underground railroad, now I understood why he wanted to be around. I went back to my small park where I got a wheat spill, merc, and silver earing. Those were only...

Yesterday after work I tried to go to a permission house, but time #4 when no one was around. gahh. So I tried to go to another place. I figured there would be a bit of trash there but all the stuff there like the ridonkulous amount of broken glass in the small driveway just made me shake my...

Even thought I don't know the age I know I have the original style. The last picture is the replica from the site I found. The first pic you can see no casting circles in line with the shank and with the second pic you can see the hole in the shank is smaller on mine. So however old it may be...

My last started thread has been a while ago. There have been finds but so far nothing too intriguing so including all together might even out. Plus I knows ya likes a lot of pics. I did hit one of the permission sites I had a few weeks ago and have yet to go back. The only coin I pulled was a...

Got out for quite a bit this weekend... quite obvi if I am posting about finds. Lol. Saturday got out with Mike and Kev. First was an old camp. I believe the only coin to come up was a memorial for a camp that existed back to early 1900s. I got a bunch of those ceramic insulators for inside. The...

Friday I got out later in the day. I tried to hit three spots, a bit of a let down. Where I found a a bunch of cellar holes should be, I found the closest one. Not sure if someone was there before because a big wagon wheel was up against a tree. Found axe head #6 for the year. Unfortunately the...

On the 22nd I got out into the woods at a cellar hole I recently found. I was hoping it was a missed site, but it was still way too much snow. I only got two pieces of iron, most likely a hinge pin for a large gate and wire. Since I could only use all metal mode I just decided to give up and go...

I cleaned up the faucet handle a bit. I can find an extensive plumbing history time line online, however I can't find when threaded pipe ends were first used. If I knew what the valve piece is made of I could guess time frame better, but it is deteriorated. It was brass colored where valve...

Guess the last post wasn't the last reading post before actual finds posts but quite interesting. Now If I could only find one of these myself. I'd settle with finding a few 1600 French gold coins tho. :grin: The few archaeologists on this forum would like the last article. I do wonder if...
