Dirt Fishing in CT - April 20th, 2011 2 More IH's for the pile, Sterling, and...

[CTDirtFisher]

Hello all!

I had about 2 hours last night and I hit a park that has been yielding lots of 1850-1900 items...

This 1st Indian Head (1900 IH #15 for 2011) was at 5-6 and I was pretty sure it was an IH...

This next Indian Head (1888 IH #16 for 2011) was shallow... 3-4 and I was not guessing IH at all... but I like suprises eace:

This Sterling Silver Ring rang up @ 12/31 @ 6 and I thought this was another IH... Even out of the hole it resisters 12/31...

This was small and 3-4 down... at first I thought it was a terminal connector for a wire... but after a little cleaning... A Key?? A Winder ??

This was screaming 12/46 12/48 - Quarter / Half... and wasn't but 2-3 down...

Its says YEARDON PATD 1890. It appears to be hose coupling band patented by William Yerdon. http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=I1ZPAAAAEBAJ&dq=clamp+1890+yerdon

HH ALL!

Very nice hunt! That last item looks like an early hose clamp. I saw one awhile back with a pat number on it, looked it up and it was 1893 and looked close to yours.
