Finders keepers! I would not give it to a museum either. Let them find their own stuff.
Really cool finds Bruce thanks for sharing

Sadly the pictures inside did not survive the 100 or more years in the ground. The initial signal was for silver,
but that may have been due to a piece of brass higher up in the hole.
The only markings on this is X V on the inside of both half's. And this small marking on the front.
This is what it looks like cleaned up. And I want to thank Chris aka RelicMedic for an ID and history on this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacifi..._Soccer_League
Now here is the quandary and why I am wondering what it is made out of.
It certainly doesn't look like silver.

Once this was found I searched all over the area for the rest of the lock. Every squeak was investigated. But there was no padlock to be found.
Being the eternal optimist I didn't let even Eeyore get me down. This was the find of the day.
And one of the many who stopped and talked yesterday almost took offense,
when I said that I would not be giving this to the museum.

Watch out I/m packing heat.
Not long ago I saw this postcard posted on the net.
It shows three men taking aim at targets circa 1904-1918.
And I thought why not and headed out there on Monday.
Junk was found and removed as usual. And there were plenty of empty shell casings.
Once you get a feel for how they sound you can eliminate most.
But some when on end sound to good to pass up.
Not a lot of other recyclables on Monday. And it's a good thing that I got all of the clad last week because gas is just barely being paid for I guess that my pay days have gone to the dogs. This was an appropriate find for the firing line. And if I ever find a whole telescope then seeing the target will be easier.Tags: None
