I was fortunate today to be able to go to an old farm property with two other forum members from here. We stayed for around 5 hours total. Here's some pics and comments. Please feel free to add any comments or insight on any of the items. I look forward to going back and hitting it even harder.
Edit to add- for some reason, photobucket chooses to turn some of the pictures sideways even though they appear correctly when I view them in Photobucket.
The pile dumped straight out after getting home.
The "keepers". Any ideas on identification of the large square thin copper piece to the left? Also, what is the piece towards the upper right that looks like some sort of latch or hook?
Keepers cleaned up.
Two large flat buttons. The large one has a dot and star pattern going in a circle on it. Headstamps, butterfly hair clip (not silver), a small rivet, and a tube of red lipstick with some leftover.
Headstamps- all 12 gauge. Top L-R is Robin Hood, Federal Monark, Eley-Kynoch(has a small circle with ICI in it). Bottom L-R is Winchester Repeater, UMC. Co Club, UMC Co. Challenge
Turtlefoot- do you have any info on the Eley-Kynoch?
Headstamps Rem-UMC Shurshot, and additional closeups of the Eley-Kynoch and Challenge.
Indian Head Pennies 1888, 1896
My coins for the day: 3 zincs, 2 copper pennies, 3 Nickels (1954, 1954, 1941), 7 Wheats (1910, 1912, 1920, 1923, 1940, 1944, 1944). While I didn't get any silvers, one of my fellow hunters did, but I'll let him post about that if he chooses.
Old lipstick tube and hair butterly. Bottom of lipstick tube is stamped Botany Distributors Passaic, NJ. I think this may be from the late 40's, but I couldn't find any info about them.
