Went curbstrip hunting in the historic area of Fernandina Beach Florida. Lots of trash, 6 Memorial pennies and 2 Wheats ( 1944 & 1955).
Then the strange stuff rolled in.
Strangest was a 2 inch metal tube that has a woman’s face on the end. She looks like a combination of Carmen Miranda and a Mercurydime as she seems to have wings and fruit on her head. Reminds me of hobo art.
Then found a Timex watch that tooka licking and then stopped ticking. Found the bowl of a silver spoon and an ornate suspender clip that also appears to be silver. An antique lock, a brass buckle, a salt shaker cap, a lighter and a cap from a bottle of Sea-Bo ( a cheap wine sold in the 1940s and 50s) completed the finds
A VERY varied day!

Amaizing that lock is in tact with the guard still on it.
Congrats!
