Found an old license plate today while detecting on my property.
an area of my land is riddled with "trash" so I haven't done much detecting there because the noise is annoying lol.. anyways I decided to explore a little and dug up a 1936 Oregon license plate rusted to hell with no paint left.
F9-107 is the number.
doing a little research I found that the F stands for Farm Vehicle.
Also found that back then you had to get a NEW license plate every year (no such thing as tags). This leads me to believe my Trash must all date somewhere around there.
I have found rusted out wire, Sardine cans, bean cans, coffee cans and every other kind of Can Slaw you can imagine.
I even found a little circular container..
I was really hoping something was still inside my lil treasure.. er I mean Trash box but after opening it I found it was empty with the exception of a little brown substance inside. looking at it closely I think it may be shoe polish reside.. size and color fits so that's what I am calling it.. brown gold.
Anyways I really really really wish the License plate had the farm vehicle attached to it... so the hunt goes on.
