1802 HOME HUNT* COUPLE NICE THINGS*LARGE CENT

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

bored outta my skull at noontime i called my Dad's friend and asked about his wife's sisters house.he made one call and 15 mins later i was on my way to home. notice the original boot scraper set next to front door? thumbsup01
a lot of the yard was redone and pickins were slim.managed a neat (1940's-50's i'm guessin) city marshall badge.a 1903 Indian head penny, a 1852 braided hair large cent,2 wheaties and some clad.spent 5 hours there and the small yard gave up about all its gonna give up.
have a great week everyone!
** looking at this marshall badge..it's a pretyy heavy duty pin for a childs toy :huh:
could this possibly be a real marshalls badge? the few play ones i have dug had cheesy pins that were toy badges.

5 hours and a sink full of fun!! lol
Yeah man that badge looks a little too heavy duty to be a kids play thing lol :thinkingabout: Could be the real deal :dontknow:
I'd say that boot scraper has seen the bottom of a boot many, many a time :yes: It's even worn more on the left side of the blade than the right side.
Probably the side closest to the door Another great hunt and post Dave!
Thanks fer sharin'
Congrats :grin:

well that turned out to be a great last minute hunt Dave , that braided hair is one of the better ones i've seen come from a yard too. :loveit: the marshall badge is a very interesting and cool item to recover eace: eace: as i said taking it to the local historical society might shed some more info on it . i agree as it could be a victorian era badge for a town constable . great stuff man and congrats .

Well that hunt turned out nice lol Great hunt. The Indian is sweet as is the Copper (and it's a real one this time rofl). The badge is a ?? for me. Could just be real. Try not to flash it to too many motorists lol Nice digs man.
