Dial A Dime

TNTGross · Apr 23, 2019

Had about an hour to hunt after work today, so I hit a curb a few blocks from the house. Only did about 200 square foot area. Found a couple of Wheat Pennies, a 39 Merc, some clad, and a dial to an old phone.

Showed the dial to a couple of neighbor girls (early twenties) and they had no clue what it was.

I wish I could take credit for being the first, but I did see one on here before. I thought it was funny that they dug one up and I thought to myself, "what are the odds"? Well, I guess for me, the odds were pretty good. :laughing:

Nice digs, TNT! I'm a little surprised those old rotary phone parts don't turn up on the forum more often. Neat relic!
