Sunday and Mondays hunts.

Sunday although cool was a nice sunny day.
The trash was light. And so was the recyclables. I did hit one good pocket spill which helped with the gas fund. And although not old. It is silver. Today I just didn't seem to be in the mood.
But out I went anyways.
I didn't stay out long as you can tell. And when two guys started up the leaf blowers across the street it was time to call it a day.
My first target of the day was quite new.

But any military finds are good in my books.
Here is a link to the modern Canadian badges if any one is interested.

And this one came out just before I called it a day.

What's the most valuable piece u have found ? U seem to really find some interesting things ... Thanks for showing

[2ndoldman]

I have found four coins that I know of that are valued between $500 and $1000.
I have several jewelry items that are up in that range too.
I have no idea what my pipe tomahawk is worth but I assume it's up there as well.

You find the most unusual pins! Pins used to be so popular. I have a Pennsylvania RR cap filled with pins given out on all the trains I've ever ridden. Each one is a special memory of my youth-- long ago & far away.😕

Thanks Deb. Would you post a pic of your badge hat? I would enjoy seeing it.

Great! Thanks for sharing!

Bruce, here you go! My grandfather was a conductor on the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad and I think I must have inherited his love of trains. I've always adored them--model and full size. I love being stopped at a railroad crossing just so I can watch the train go by! I loved the Pullman sleepers best and couldn't wait until bedtime when the porter would lower the upper bunk, I'd scramble up the ladder, and lie there, listening to the clickety-clacks while being swayed to sleep. Those were the days when your dog could share the room with you. Those days are gone.

Thanks for the pictures Deb and the story. I really like that chief button.

Nice hat . Don't ever take it fishing from a boat. LOL That is just some advice Deb. From a man who had a hat with pins and watched said hat sink like a rock one day while out fluke fishing in the lower Housatonic River, Stratford, CT.

Thanks! Now anyone can buy a Chinese ripoff on eBay. I prefer the real deal, like what you're finding.

Your pipe tomahawk?
