Got of for the 1st time in 2 weeks back to an area I've been to before. After looking at the maps I decided to follow the old road in search of a house on the maps.

Was really warm today & went thru 2 liters of water.

Found the house turned on the tector made 2 swings & bam 1st flat button. Well that's a good sign :yes: continued swinging and picked up more buttons & then worked my around the foundation until I get a really good hit & pulled out a sweet looking 1820 LC! :clapping: Was stoked and continued around for a bit longer & got a really good hit & dug this nice pocket watch with a Train on it.

Pulled out this numbered tag that says "The B.D.P. Jr Co". Can't seem to get any info on it so if anyone can help I'd gladly appreciate it.

I hit this place hard & will go back after a good soaking rain.

On a side note while I'm out in the woods my wife sends me a text that my son eyeballed this Stainless Steel Ring at the beach , LOL!

HH,
Roger!

Can't believe that this post got past me? That will teach me not to take vacation! Welcome back aboard the lc express.! That's a real nice one.I hope it wasn't found where I didn't want to go.We gotta get back out again soon.Let me know.
 
Congrats on the great finds !

Looks like that could be a old Coal Miner's Tag.
Every Miner had one - they got paid by the ton they dug - they would put their tags on a big brass pin that was on the side of the coal cars so how much each Miner dug could be recorded.
Maybe search the name on the tag + "coal mine" or "mining company" in Google ?

Good Luck !
