You folks like in-situ pictures. How many goodies can you spot?

[2ndoldman]

This is from my weekend.
One beach hunt on Saturday and one park hunt on Sunday.

[Tam]

Really makes you wonder about some . Beer tabs no
but why the key ??? How did he loose a ring ? Neddles what a big problem here wow .

[2ndoldman]

Those damn needles are now showing up on my beaches Tamara.

[Havenhunter]

Geez, Bruce, I spot a bunch of interesting objects! One person's junk is another's treasure.

[2ndoldman]

Amen Deb.

[JoshinMO]

Look's like copper top center. Bottom, to The right of coin's look's kind of like a buckle but doesn't.

[2ndoldman]

I think that you may be right. I originally thought that it was an automotive head badge but it may well be a buckle.

[Sugaree]

I like finding old pottery shards with company names I have a small frame of them going to look yours up cool. Bruce I see lots of treasures there way to go!

[2ndoldman]

Pottery shards with the company name are always a great indicator of the age of the area.

[Jethro355]

I see the buttplate off a rifle, part of an old pocket watch, what I think is part of a sextant....that’s some cool treasures, Bruce👍👍

[2ndoldman]

I wish that it really was a rifle butt plate but it is actually a homemade fishing spinner.

[Jethro355]

That’s a yuge spinner!!!

Proverbial Antenna Crackpipe lol. My high score day was 4! Love dem goodies Bruce

[2ndoldman]

Hahaha, I have never heard of an antenna crack pipe.

[2ndoldman]

These are some of the things from that first picture that I like.
Old Ford tire valves are always fun to find. And so are nice old buckles. Silver rings are what the ladies like to see.
This one is a spinner ring. Oddities are one of the things that get me excited.
Is this from a car or is it a huge buckle? These are what I originally thought would be the best finds from the beach hunt. That W thing had me going until I knocked the crud off.
I thought it was a silver coin turned into a love token before that but it is just the cap to some small bottle or tube. The buckle sitting on the dime is nothing fancy but it is the absolute tiniest buckle that I have found.
Ans so is the skeleton key, it must have been a jewelry box key. The navy pin is my favorite find by far.
Royal Navy Canadian Volunteer reserve.

That tire cap takes the cake. Have to look up that year . That’s gotta be back in time. Very cool

[2ndoldman]

It is dated 1907

[Tam]

Wow nice

[2ndoldman]

I just found some information on the Royal Navy Canadian Volunteer Reserve.
This is a long read but it is worth it to see WWI from a personal perspective. https://www.cnrs-scrn.org/northern_m..._3_2_19-32.pdf

Very cool Bruce ... This shows how height has changed in the last 100 years .

[2ndoldman]

I agree Tamara.
A 6 foot tall man back then was an oddity and a 7 footer was almost unheard of.

[Tam]

Was watching a movie the other night with a very tall African.
Sudan having an average hieght of 6’4” got me on a rampage of research . Now looking up how the Chinese migrated back over . It never ends .

[Kyflintguy]

Got me playing "Where's Waldo" Bruce lol. Cool stuff and that buckle is pretty neat! Thanks for sharing!

[2ndoldman]

You are welcome Josh and thank you for commenting.

[toccopola]

[2ndoldman]

Hahaha. I feel that way a lot.😎
