Title: Re: Some of my finds so far Post by: MarcB on February 02, 2016, 10:11:30 AM Nice token - I like the interesting white metal token as well. I've attached some information about it When I found out what it was yesterday I thought what a great piece of history found when the information goes with it. Thanks Title: Re: Some of my finds so far Post by: Chef Geoff on February 02, 2016, 12:03:39 PM Very well done Mark you've had a productive start when I think about my first couple of outings I'm amazed I didn't give the hobby up ;)
Title: Re: Some of my finds so far Post by: MarcB on February 02, 2016, 12:46:40 PM Very well done Mark you've had a productive start when I think about my first couple of outings I'm amazed I didn't give the hobby up ;) Thank you!I have dug up my fare share of scrap mind. But I'm getting much better listening to the tones now and even guessing what the item is before digging it up. I do leave the quite iron tones though. Edit: Can someone help with the cherub looking item please. It's very fragile found on pasture Title: Re: Some of my finds so far Post by: Val Beechey on February 02, 2016, 04:05:38 PM You've certainly got some productive land there Mark. Lovely selection of finds. That buckle, although not precious metal, would have been a belter when it was new. Probably late 1700's or thereabout.
Well done, keep them coming. Much more to be had yet. Title: Re: Some of my finds so far Post by: dingdong on February 02, 2016, 05:47:56 PM Well found Mark, great selection of very,very nice finds,well done.👍
Title: Re: Some of my finds so far Post by: MarcB on February 02, 2016, 06:52:12 PM Thank you both.
What do you think pictures no# 2 and 5 from my first post are? Title: Re: Some of my finds so far Post by: Val Beechey on February 02, 2016, 07:32:27 PM Not seeing the back of no 2 I'd say it's a brooch. It looks to be silver, have you tested it. Are those hall marks on the 'petals'.
No 5 not sure what it is. If you turn it a 1/4 to the left it looks like a flower. Could be furniture decoration. Title: Re: Some of my finds so far Post by: Bill from Lachine on February 02, 2016, 08:03:15 PM Mark,
I like your Chinese token. Regards + HH Bill Title: Re: Some of my finds so far Post by: MarcB on February 03, 2016, 02:52:29 PM Cheers going back out this Sunday.
Still trying to get an ID on the cherub looking find. Hmm Title: Re: Some of my finds so far Post by: Chef Geoff on February 03, 2016, 03:23:27 PM Mark we would need some better shots of it both front and reverse to even try an id, what metal is it?

I think it's pewter, very brittle. You can see a wing, what looks to be legs. 1st picture is the reverse Title: Re: Some of my finds so far Post by: Val Beechey on February 03, 2016, 04:54:09 PM I thought I could see a leg on the other pics. Now I can see 2 legs and a wing. I think it's either a winged horse or some other animal, not a cherub.
Still have no idea what it might have been attached to though. Title: Re: Some of my finds so far Post by: MarcB on February 03, 2016, 05:25:38 PM I thought I could see a leg on the other pics.

I've gone through 100's if not at least a 1000 finds now on finds.org Title: Re: Some of my finds so far Post by: probono on February 04, 2016, 10:09:43 AM Very well done Mark you've had a productive start when I think about my first couple of outings I'm amazed I didn't give the hobby up ;) I know how you felt - it took me nearly 20 years between my first radioshack detector, which I only ever used in my garden to getting a proper detector, another 7 years to find permission (foot and mouth got in the way) and then two years before I learned how to use one and started finding things! |
